<![CDATA[Youth wing organizations occupy a strategic position in political party regeneration, yet their contribution to cadre quality at the local level remains under-examined. This study evaluates the role of Generasi Muda Pembangunan Indonesia (GMPI) political education in improving the quality of United Development Party (PPP) cadres in Jombang Regency in 2025 and examines the institutional relationship between GMPI and PPP, including implementation challenges. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and organizational documentation. Data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation, while analysis followed data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that GMPI Jombang implements political education through structured and unstructured channels. Structured education includes tiered cadre training, ideological briefings, and internal forums, while unstructured education involves informal discussions, mentoring, and direct participation in party activities. These activities contribute positively to cadre quality through improved ideological understanding, organizational discipline, and participation in party work. The GMPI–PPP relationship is historically, aspirationally, and programmatically close, providing legitimacy and access to resources while limiting organizational autonomy. Implementation challenges include limited human and financial resources, inconsistent cadre participation, and internal organizational dynamics. GMPI addresses these challenges through consolidation, programme flexibility, network mobilization, and exemplary leadership. The study concludes that strengthening youth wing organizations is essential for sustainable political education and the regeneration of competent, disciplined, and participatory local political cadres.]]>
