Abstract

Madura is famous for the dominance of a very popular religion, the position of religion is divided into several clusters that are members of the socio-economic community. These classes include the kyai and the blater who often have an important and major role in all aspects including political activities, who work as mapping the course of the political struggle in Madura. One form of dominative politics that is implemented uses religious elements of kyai and blater. The phenomenon that occurs in the political elite in fighting for power. The purpose of this study is to describe the existence of a blater in a political struggle to get a seat. This study uses a qualitative method because it is considered very relevant to the theme that discusses politics. The theoretical concept used as an analytical tool in this research is the concept of power according to Michael Foucault, who explains power as the greatest domination in the room where power operates which is recorded in the highest institutional structure in politics. The researcher’s initial assumption is that the existence of kyai and blater determines the dynamics of politics in fighting for seats of power in the local area.
