“…These results can be related to the previous studies, which asserted the significance of the descriptive representation of politicians to develop a higher level of trust among the citizens (Ulbig, 2007). Previously, researchers had also signified the need for practical implications of politicians' promises to gain the public's trust (Ceron, 2017;Holum, 2022). Similar findings can be implemented in a developing nation context where citizens face many problems based on poor economies, survival issues, terrorism threats, and other natural hazards.…”

The current study examines the impact of politicians' communication, efficacy, and ideology on citizens’ political satisfaction and trust in the developing nation of Indonesia. Women’s political participation and representation are encouraged worldwide based on their communication skills, strong personalities, and public-oriented ideologies. In this context, the current study assessed the contingent impact of gender (men and women politicians) to investigate the differential impact of their communication, efficacy, and ideology on citizens’ political satisfaction. The data were collected from 590 Indonesian citizens at local administrative units and analyzed using SmartPLS v. 4. Results revealed that women politicians' communication and efficacy impact citizens’ political satisfaction more than men politicians. In contrast, the politician's ideology was indifferent to male and female politicians, revealing no significant differences. The current study reflects the significant role of women in politics in bringing economic development and prosperity to a nation and extends the existing political literature using the resource-based view theory.

UMNO's call to put pressure on the Malaysian government, under the leadership of Ismail Sabri, to hold the GE15 during the flood season, which is expected to start in November 2022 until March 2023, was observed to have surprised many parties. In fact, this call was responded to by Ismail Sabri's announcement in the UMNO assembly stating that the parliament will be dissolved in the near future to make way for the GE15, which also confirmed that it was likely that the election would be held during the flood season in Malaysia. Finally, on October 10, 2022, Ismail Sabri announced the dissolution of the 14th parliament and confirmed that the GE15 will be held during the flood season in Malaysia. This announcement has created an atmosphere of panic and fear among the people because Malaysia will generally be hit by a flood season during the specified period. Therefore, this research aims to identify how the flood season affects the ideas for the GE15. The conceptual framework proposed in this research is political distrust of the government and the setting of political agendas that will influence voters’ behaviour. This research is relevant and has its own importance due to the fact that research related to floods during the general election in Malaysia has not been carried out before. It provides a new approach when focusing on how floods affect the course of elections in Malaysia, in addition to introducing a new landscape in national politics. The results of this study found that the GE15 in Malaysia will most likely not represent the true voice of the people of this country because it is held during the flood season. This is because it would have reduced the voting percentage due to weather factors that may cause people to refuse to go out to vote. In conclusion, the politics of flood and fear have the potential to influence voters’ behaviour of going out to vote or otherwise, and would have an impact on the outcome of the election results.

“…Furthermore, the researcher noted that several previous studies examined the relationship between various elements of good governance in individual studies. For instance, public participation (He andMa, 2021 &Holum, 2022), accountability (Farwell et al, 2019), transparency (Grimmelikhuijsen & Klijn, 2015), and citizens' trust in government. Nevertheless, there is a paucity of existing research examining the joint effects of perceived elements of good governance (perceived public participation (PPP), perceived accountability (PAC), and perceived transparency (PTP)) on citizens' trust in municipal government(CTM) via citizens' perceptions of municipal government performance(PMP).…”

The study examined whether elements of good governance affect citizens’ trust through citizens’ perceptions of municipal government performance. 357 cross-sectional data were collected from residents of Mogadishu Municipality, Somalia. SmartPLS 4 was used to analyze the data. The study found that perceived elements of good governance positively and directly affect both citizens’ trust and perceptions of municipal government performance. Also, perceptions of municipal government performance partially mediate both variables. The study concludes that municipality officials need to recognize the importance of good governance and citizens’ perceptions of municipal government performance if they want citizens to trust the municipality.
