- Abstract
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) carried out in Jombang Regency in 2018, led to Regional Head Candidate Mundjibah Wahab being elected as Regent in the 2018 Pilkada. He as deputy regent could beat his running mate, Regent Nyono Suharli Wihandoko. The purpose of this study is to explore the victory of a candidate for regional head because it has benefited from the corruption eradication program by the KPK, namely the handling of corruption by the incumbent Regent. This study uses a qualitative method with a study of discourse in the media that reports information on the 2018 Pilkada. Researchers use the theory of voter behavior so that they have a decision on the three pairs of candidates who are contesting with various backgrounds, visions, missions and work programs offered. The results of this study are that the position of Mendjidah Wahab even though he is the deputy regent, the voter’s vote is maintained because the public distinguishes between corruption carried out by the Regent Nyono personally, which is different from the implementation of various joint work programs as a leadership partner for the Jombang area 2013–2018. The division of leadership also affected this victory.
