<![CDATA[Normatively, Legislatif Main Thougth serves as an instrument for channeling public aspirations, but in practice it reflects more complex political and administrative dynamics. This study aims to analyze how the implementation of Legislatif Main Thougth influences the executive branch’s role in providing public goods at the local level. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach focused on the provincial government of West Sumatra. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with executive officials and DPRD members, as well as through the analysis of regional planning and budgeting documents. The analysis was conducted thematically based on Merilee S. Grindle’s policy implementation theory, which encompasses the dimensions of content of policy and context of implementation. The results indicate that the inclusion of Legislatif Main Thougth in planning and budgeting documents has restructured public service priorities, limited the autonomy of OPDs, and shifted the locus of decision-making from the administrative domain to the legislative political arena. This study contributes to the development of public administration studies by introducing the concept of a shift in executive functions as a structural implication of policy implementation dynamics at the local level.]]>
