Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find the form of social capital construction that independent candidates have in the 2013 regional head election when they can defeat the dominance of political parties that have mass bases, strong organizational structures, and hold power. Analyzing the ability of independent candidates to manage social capital, to achieve these goals, this study was designed as qualitative research relying on the strength of informants who were randomly selected purposively, namely the winning team, community leaders, and religious leaders using in-depth interview guidelines and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) instruments. The analytical technique used is descriptive qualitative with the theoretical approach of Robert D Putnam. The results of this study indicate that independent candidates can manage and organize social capital through the concept of; beliefs, social networks, and social norms. The important role of social capital in winning the 2013 regional head election for Donggala Regency is the discovery of genealogical factors by carrying the symbol “isemapa maipeapa” which means who else when will be a social glue tool, especially the Kaili ethnic. The consequences of the role of social capital are also able to encourage public participation in voting, social capital can anticipate black campaigns and money politics in the elections.
