Abstract

Political capital is a collection of social, symbolic, and relational resources that enable an individual to participate in and influence political processes. This study analyzes the political capital and electoral strategies employed by Terri Genta Sansui Siregar, a young candidate who was successfully elected as a member of the North Tapanuli Regency DPRD in the 2024 elections. Using qualitative research methods, data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that Terri Genta's victory was based on three main elements of her political capital: trust, political legacy, and field activities. Trust was built through a personal approach, dialogue, and direct interaction with the community, including the younger generation. The political legacy of her parents, who had served as members of the DPRD, provided significant advantages in terms of networks and legitimacy. Meanwhile, consistent field activities, such as door-to-door visits and social assistance, strengthened her closeness to constituents. The electoral strategy used included communication and branding, a direct approach, understanding of the terrain, and the utilization of social capital. This victory shows that a combination of strong political capital and relevant campaign strategies is key to gaining public support, especially in local political contests.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the coalition and non-coalition patterns that emerged in the 2024 Toba Regency Regional Election, focusing on the strategies employed by political parties in nominating candidates for regional head. Coalition and non-coalition political parties at the local level are crucial elements in determining the outcomes of the election, as structural factors such as legislative seat numbers, local voters, and the electability of candidate figures also influence the contest dynamics. Using a qualitative approach, this study examines how coalition formation or the decision to remain non-coalition is influenced by local political and social factors, as well as party strategies in responding to the new nomination threshold regulation set by the Constitutional Court. The results of this study indicate that in the 2024 Toba Regency Regional Election, large coalitions formed by major parties emphasize electoral efficiency based on seat calculations, while smaller coalitions focus more on shared social visions and change. Additionally, the non-coalition strategy adopted by the Nasdem Party illustrates the application of Rational Choice Theory, where the decision to run independently was driven by the electoral calculation and the strength of the candidate's figure. This study provides new insights into the development of coalition theory at the local level and how local factors influence the formation of electoral strategies in regional elections.
