Abstract

This study aims to analyze how social media, particularly Instagram, is utilized as a political campaign tool by Dedi Mulyadi through the account @dedimulyadi71. Employing Teun A. Van Dijk's model of critical discourse analysis, the research explores three main dimensions: text structure, social cognition, and social context. The data were collected from uploaded content including photos, videos, captions, hashtags, and public comments, which were then examined qualitatively to uncover ideological meanings and the political communication strategies employed. The findings reveal that Dedi Mulyadi utilizes visual narratives and emotionally charged language to construct a populist image one that is close to local culture and responsive to social issues. This strategy enhances his connection with voters and fosters high levels of public engagement. Instagram proves to be an effective alternative campaign space for shaping public opinion and mobilizing political support in the digital era, characterized by post-truth dynamics and symbolic populism.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how electoral campaigns contribute to strengthening democratic participation in the 2024 Legislative Election in North Sumatra. Conceptually, electoral campaigns serve as a vital instrument in democratic systems, functioning as a communication bridge between candidates and voters that can enhance political awareness and encourage civic engagement in the electoral process. The research explores the dynamics of campaign implementation in North Sumatra, including the strategies employed by political parties and legislative candidates, the influence of social media, and the role of civil society. The findings indicate that informative and inclusive campaigns have a significantly positive impact on voter participation, particularly among young voters and first-time voters. However, several challenges remain, such as vote-buying practices, the spread of misinformation, and low political literacy, all of which can hinder democratic consolidation at the local level. This study highlights the importance of implementing stricter campaign regulations, continuous political education, and collaboration among the General Elections Commission (KPU), political parties, and civil society organizations to foster a more participatory and democratic electoral process. A qualitative case study approach was adopted to examine the function of electoral campaigns in enhancing democratic participation during the 2024 Legislative Election in North Sumatra. The qualitative method was chosen for its ability to investigate socio-political phenomena in a contextual and in-depth manner, based on the experiences and perspectives of individuals directly involved in the campaigns. Campaigns that emphasized information-sharing, inclusivity, and the use of social media were found to be effective in stimulating participation, especially among youth and novice voters. Nevertheless, persistent challenges such as money politics, the spread of hoaxes, and weak political literacy continue to hinder the improvement of democratic quality at the local level. Therefore, campaign regulations particularly those concerning digital media must be reinforced, and public political awareness must be improved so that voters can think critically and are not easily influenced by disinformation or transactional politics.

Abstract

This study explores persuasive techniques in political communication in the ever-evolving digital era, where social media platforms offer real-time interaction opportunities while simultaneously presenting significant challenges. The research focuses on the importance of a deep understanding of complex audience characteristics, the spread of disinformation, and the urgent need for ethical and socially responsible dimensions in every political campaign. Using a qualitative approach with literature review and content analysis methods, this article identifies various persuasive strategies, including compelling narratives, emotional appeal, message repetition, and the integration of accurate data and facts to build credibility. The findings reveal that the effectiveness of persuasion depends not only on communication skills but also on the communicator's ability to adapt to audience skepticism, understand cultural contexts, and counter hoaxes. Therefore, this study concludes that a holistic and sustainable approach combining persuasive expertise with integrity, transparency, and a commitment to democratic dialogue is key to achieving political goals and fostering meaningful public participation.
