Abstract

In democratic countries, the political party acts as a mediator bridging communication between the government and its citizens. The decline of the political party taking place before and after the 2014 and 2019 presidential elections and legislative elections certainly affects the political parties in carrying out their roles. Conducted in Malang, the objective of this study is to describe factors contributing to the declining image of political parties and its implications. The findings showed that the image of political parties is deteriorating due to a lack of trust towards the political parties and politicians in the parliament. The Decree on direct vote system for both presidential and regional head election and establishment of an open proportional system in the legislative election also contributes to the deterioration. Implications of the phenomenon are negative attitude and declining interest towards a political party.
