Abstract

The study of Islamic Parties is often connected to the framework of political Islam and sectarian politics. These two theories have dominated studies of Islamic political parties from the beginning of independence until now. Phenomenon and problems: Obtaining votes in the election of Islamic parties and the failure to form an Islamic political party axis is one of the problems. The number of votes which is not significant and is considered to be always decreasing underlies the assessment of the effectiveness of Islamic political parties. This research aims to analyze more deeply how Islamic parties position themselves in elections, considering that in 2024 Indonesia will hold presidential elections and examine the bargaining power of Islamic politics in the coalition of presidential and vice-presidential candidates. So that later it will be known why Islamic political parties are not building a joint coalition in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. This research method is qualitative with a phenomenological approach. Data sources will be obtained from secondary data, namely relevant research results, mass media, and social media. The analysis technique is triangulation. The research results show that four Islamic-leaning parties (PKS, PPP, PAN, PKB) are separated into three coalitions. This shows the implications of the Size of Party Power and Policy Seeking theory. Basically, consensus aims to realize policies that are in line with the party's interests, however, in practice it is only used as an opportunity to increase the party's strength but takes advantage of the same ideological background and character of the community/masses so that efforts to form an Islamic axis always fail to materialize. The same party ideological background is not utilized by political parties to bargain in internal coordination in making important decisions.
