Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of filling a vacant village-head position through the postponement of an interim village-head election and the successive appointment of acting village heads in Putat Lor Village, Menganti District, Gresik Regency. A qualitative single-case study design was employed. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with subdistrict officials, the acting village head, and a representative of the Village Consultative Body, supported by a review of appointment decrees, administrative documents, and relevant regulations. Data were analyzed using an interactive model involving data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, while source and document triangulation was applied to strengthen credibility. The findings show that the postponement was shaped by three interrelated considerations: administrative adaptation during regulatory transition, the absence of a specific budget allocation for the interim election, and the synchronization of the election schedule with the local political agenda. Extending the tenure of acting village heads maintained public-service continuity and reduced procedural and political costs. Nevertheless, administrative efficiency and political stability cannot automatically justify postponing the community's right to elect a definitive leader. Administrative discretion must therefore be supported by a clear legal basis, measurable time limits, periodic evaluation, transparent budgeting, and public accountability.

Abstract

Background This study aims to analyze the political communication strategy implemented by the East Java Regional Leadership Council (DPW) of the National Awakening Party (PKB) through the Instagram account @dpwpkbjatim and identify supporting and inhibiting factors in its use as a political communication medium. Methods This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation. The research analysis uses Anwar Arifin's Political Communication Strategy theory, which includes aspects of knowing the audience, composing messages, determining methods, and selecting communication media. Results The results show that the Instagram account @dpwpkbjatim is used to convey information about party activities, build a political image, and establish communication with the public through various Instagram features. Supporting factors for Instagram use include the high number of users, interactive features, organizational support, and the development of digital technology. Inhibiting factors include consistency in content production, diversity of audience characteristics, changes in the Instagram algorithm, and limited resources. Conclusion This study shows that Instagram has become an important medium in supporting the political communication of the East Java PKB DPW in the digital era.
