Abstract

This study delves into the phenomenon of political brokers influencing village head elections in Sanggal Village and Rantau Bangkiang Village, Central Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. It employs the concepts of political brokers,patron-client relationships, and various forms of patronage to analyze how candidates utilize brokers to distribute resources and garner public support. Adopting a qualitative approach with a case study design, the research sheds light on the previously unexplored presence of political brokers within the context of village head elections, which have traditionally been seen as less susceptible to such influences compared to regional or national elections.  The findings reveal a critical role played by political brokers in securing victories for village head candidates. Interestingly, the study also identifies a deviation from the typical material-based exchange, demonstrating that brokers may be motivated by less tangible benefits or even act as volunteers. This research contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of power dynamics within village head elections by highlighting the previously overlooked role of political brokers. It raises questions about the evolving nature of political influence at the local level and the potential implications for village governance and development.

Abstract

In Indonesia, the role of political brokers is a ubiquitous phenomenon in the context of electoral processes at all levels. A substantial body of research has been devoted to the study of political brokers in Indonesia. Nevertheless, research on political brokers at the rural level remains scarce. Accordingly, this study seeks to examine the role of political brokers in the context of village head elections, with a particular focus on the cases of Sanggal village and Rantau Bangkiang village in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. This research employs qualitative methods to elucidate the phenomenon of political brokers in village head elections. The concepts of political brokers, patron-client relationships, and forms of patronage were employed to analyze the manner in which candidates provide resources to the public through the intermediary of brokers. The findings revealed that political brokers were not only involved in the electoral processes for general and regional heads, but also in those for village heads. Furthermore, this study revealed that brokers played a pivotal role in securing victories for candidates in village head elections. The benefits received by brokers from candidates were not solely material, such as monetary compensation and goods, but also encompassed connections and promises of involvement in the village development agenda. Despite the methodological limitations of this study, it makes a valuable contribution to the field of political brokerage research in Indonesia, particularly in the context of rural elections.
