Abstract

In the Minangkabau social system, women hold a crucial position as owners of lineage and inherited property. However, in formal political practice, women's representation in legislative institutions remains relatively low. This study uses a qualitative approach, collecting data through interviews, documentation, and literature review. The results indicate that despite the affirmative action policy of a 30 percent quota for women in legislative candidacy, the representation of elected women remains limited. This is influenced by several factors, including patriarchal culture in local politics, limited political resources for women, and low political party support for female candidates. These findings suggest that the matrilineal system does not automatically result in equal political representation for women in legislative institutions. Therefore, strengthening women's political capacity and ensuring political party commitment to encouraging increased women's representation in legislative institutions is necessary. This study aims to analyze the low political representation of women in the West Pasaman Regency legislative institution in the 2024 General Election.

Abstract

Women’s participation in Indonesian electoral politics has increased following affirmative quota policies, yet this numerical inclusion has not been fully reflected in women’s electoral success. This article examines the role of political capital in shaping women’s representation and electability in the 2024-2029 Jambi Provincial Legislative Council election. The study addresses the gap between formal candidacy and actual electability by analyzing how female candidates accumulate and convert political capital in a local electoral context. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, this research applies Casey’s political capital framework, consisting of institutional, social, cultural, economic, and symbolic capital. The findings show that women accounted for 247 of 732 legislative candidates, or 33.74%, but only seven of 55 elected legislators, or 12.72%, were women. This indicates a significant gap between affirmative representation and electoral outcomes. The elected female candidates generally possessed strong party support, extensive social networks, credible educational and professional backgrounds, sufficient economic resources, and symbolic legitimacy rooted in public reputation, family networks, or local social recognition. The study argues that women’s electability depends not only on affirmative policies but also on their capacity to strategically manage and convert different forms of political capital. This article contributes to gender and politics studies by showing that women’s political representation at the local level is shaped by the interaction between institutional rules, social structures, and candidates’ political resources.
