Type: article
Abstract: Objectives: This research analyzes the factors that influence the results of the 2024 Legislative Election in Indonesia, with a focus on the case of the increase in the Golkar Party's vote share in North Sumatra. Theoretical Framework: This study identifies three main factors that often influence election. Method: The research results show that there is an increasing trend in the practice of money politics, especially in the form of providing social assistance for political purposes. This research analyzes the factors that cause an increase in the practice of money politics and its impact on election results. Originality and Impilcations: coattail effect, money politics, and campaign strategy. Even though the coattail effect and money politics have proven effective in several cases, such as Prabowo Subianto's victory and the increase in PDIP votes, the phenomenon of increasing Golkar Party votes in North Sumatra shows that there are other factors at play. Result: This study concludes that the practice of money politics has become a serious challenge to the implementation of democratic elections with integrity.
