Abstract

Political parties are a key instrument in the modern democratic system, serving as a means of articulating and aggregating the people's interests. Their existence plays a vital role in determining the quality of democracy, particularly in the implementation of legislative elections in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the existence of political parties as pillars of democracy in the context of legislative elections, by reviewing their roles, functions, and the challenges faced in strengthening political representation of the community. The method used is normative research with a legislative, conceptual, and historical approach, complemented by an analysis of academic literature and related regulations. The results of the study indicate that although political parties have been constitutionally recognized as the main pillars of democracy, their implementation still faces various problems, such as weak internal party democratization, oligarchic practices, money politics, and a crisis of popular representation. This has resulted in declining public trust in political parties. Therefore, strengthening regulations, internal party reform, and increasing public political participation are necessary so that political parties can optimally carry out their functions as pillars of democracy. This research is expected to contribute to the development of constitutional law and politics, as well as serve as a reference in the formulation of election policies in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) of Pematangsiantar City in creating a clean government from the practice of Corruption, Collusion, and Nepotism (KKN). This study uses a descriptive-analytical method with a normative and empirical juridical approach through literature studies and field observations. The results of the study show that the Pematangsiantar City DPRD has carried out its supervisory function through work meetings, program evaluations, field inspections, and the use of interpellation rights and the right of inquiry. However, the effectiveness of supervision is still constrained by limited recommendatory authority, barriers to access to public information, and overlapping authority with other supervisory institutions. This study concludes that strengthening the role of the DPRD in realizing a clean government requires firm regulatory support, capacity building and institutional integrity, and active participation of the community.

Abstract

The Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia Year 1945 regulates the House of Representatives (DPR) and regional autonomous government. Articles 18 to 18B of the 1945 Constitution discuss the division of regions and the regional government system, and Articles 19 and 20 of the 1945 Constitution regulate the DPR. In Indonesia, the House of Representatives is a state institution representing the people tasked with carrying out legislative, budgeting, and oversight functions over the performance of the government. In relation to local governments, the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) and the local government are equal partners in administering regional governance, where the DPRD has the primary functions of legislation (enacting regional regulations), budgeting (preparing and approving the regional budget), and supervision (overseeing the implementation of regional regulations and local government policies), while the local government (led by the Head of the Region) has the function of executing regional regulations and local policies. They work together synergistically, with open communication, to ensure that development policies and programs meet the needs of the community and are implemented effectively and accountably. With the problem formulation being what are the inhibiting factors faced by the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) in realizing a clean government apparatus in the era of regional autonomy. The purpose of this research is to identify the inhibiting factors faced by the DPRD in realizing a clean government apparatus in the era of regional autonomy. The benefits of the research include academic benefits, theoretical benefits, and practical benefits. The research methods consist of: type of research, nature of research, approach method, data sources (primary legal materials and secondary legal materials), data collection techniques, and data analysis methods. That based on the research results, the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) is not performing its duties optimally due to limitations in human resource quality, lack of knowledge about regulations, procedures, and policies, as well as insufficient DPRD studies and a lack of intention to realize a clean government.
