Abstract

This study aims to determine the role of the power of the party elite in determining the nomination of regional head candidates. The type of research used is qualitative with a case study approach. Data was obtained through primary and secondary data and in-depth analysis. Data collection techniques used to understand the understanding of subjects with in-depth interviews and tracing related documents, the author sees the role of party elites in determining the nomination of candidates for regional heads as very large by not providing full legitimacy of regional administrators in determining candidate pairs, this results in a weakening of the function of parties at the regional level in carrying out their functions as political recruitment. The freedom of political parties at the regional level should be given the flexibility to determine the direction of support because regional administrators better understand the needs of the people in each region. One case example occurred in the 2018 Makassar City regional election by winning an empty box and defeating a large coalition of political parties. This occurred as a form of public resistance against the central party elite and elites outside the party in determining the nomination of candidates for the 2018 Makassar City election.
