Clientelism in Village Head Elections in Purwadadi Village, Ciamis Regency
Klientelisme dalam Pemilihan Kepala Desa di Desa Purwadadi Kabupaten Ciamis
Abstract
Markun Marhani, one of the regional political actors with a background as a former convict, is the oldest candidate, and has a lower educational background compared to other candidates, emerged as the winner in the Village Head Election in Purwadadi Village, Purwadadi District, Ciamis Regency in 2022. This victory is considered possible because there is a clientelism relationship in the village head election. To analyze this problem, the author conducted a study using the theory of patronage and clientelism put forward by Aspinall and Sukmajati supplemented by the concept of power elites. This study uses a qualitative research method with purposive sampling and snowball sampling informant determination techniques with source triangulation validity tests, through in-depth interview data collection techniques, observation, and documentation. The results of this study show that in order to win the Village Head Election in Purwadadi Village, Purwadadi District, Ciamis Regency for the 2022-2028 period, Marhani applied several variations in the form of patronage and clientelism that he carried out with the village political elite and the surrounding community. The forms of patronage and clientelism variations used are vote buying, individual gifts, and service and activities. In addition to using patronage and clientelism patterns as the main pattern, Marhani's success is supported by the political culture of the Purwadadi Village community which is at the level of subject political culture (kaula) driven by the pragmatism of the surrounding community.
