Abstract

The euphoria of the regional and the national leadership change resulted in youth leadership: the recruitment of regional leaders through local elections became the entrance for all elements to run for office. They were elected to be the leaders of their region, and this also included the youth taking part in the election of regional heads through political elections. It was noted that there were two regional heads and one deputy regional head elected at the age of less than 30 years: Makmun Ibnu Fuad in Bangkalan, M Syaharial in Tanjung Balai, and M. Nurul Arifin in Trenggalek. Youth leaders becoming regional heads is an important emerging trend and has become an alternative for managing the nation and the state better. The Bangkalan region is led by Makmun Ibnu Fuad, a 26-year-old man officially appointed in 2013 when he won the election in the same year. Policies related to the millennial generation, the realization of youth leadership in Bangkalan, and strengthening local wisdom in millennials amidst the flow of information society will be explored in this research. The research also seeks to identify the challenges and expectations of the community toward youth leadership. Scientific recommendations are absolutely necessary in evaluating youth leadership and establishing a benchmark for the phenomenon of the presence of youth leaders, a topic that has received little attention from academics.
