Abstract

The existence of relationship between patrons (those in power) and clients creates a reciprocal dynamic involving the provision of “rewards” during general elections, thereby fostering a culture of vote-buying within the community—including the community of Kertagenah Tengah Village during the 2024 general election. This study aims to examine the political dynamics as well as the practices of patronage, clientelism, and vote-buying in the village in question. Furthermore, the research employed a qualitative approach using primary data sources, including residents of Kertagenah Tengah Village in Pamekasan Regency, the Village Head and village officials of Kertagenah Tengah, as well as members of the Pamekasan Regency Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu); secondary data was drawn from books, laws, and other sources. The results of this study indicate that the relationship between patrons and clients takes the form of personal gifts, services, and activities provided to the community, as well as vote-buying. Second, this relationship between patrons and clients gives rise to the practice of money politics, in which clients cast their votes as a form of reciprocity and gratitude toward patrons who have provided them with resources. Third, the existence of patronage, clientelism, and money politics is caused by a lack of political awareness among the public, low legal awareness, and economic hardship
