The fantastic victory achieved by the Golkar Party was about 58 percent of the vote in 1999, followed by 32.78 percent in 2004, and then 37 percent votes in 2009. Banggai District has become a granary for the Golkar Party. Therefore, it is not surprising that Golkar Party has solidly demonstrated its existence in both legislative and executive institutions for ten years.

Data were obtained through interviews, documentation and literature study. The results of this study include: First, Mass Basis; Second, the selection of cadres; Third, the relation of Golkar Party with social organizations that become the foundation for strengthening its existence in Banggai Regency.
