“…The theory (Mukti & Rodiyah, 2020) states that political dynasties are a tradition in Indonesia and can be proven with the historical record of the previous president who secured his descendants' power position before retirement (Suryatwan, 2020) Jokowi also did the same. Not only that, but the practice of oligarchy in Indonesia is very transparent, and there is no longer any impression of being covered up.…”

Previously, they were deemed not to have the ability and sufficient political footprint, so that the public only considered them to take advantage of the political momentum by completing the President's reputation and position.Furthermore, according to (Mukti & Rodiyah, 2020), The practice of political dynasties in real democracy does not exist. In the constitution, every citizen's rights are guaranteed and upheld to vote and be elected.…”

The political steps of President Joko Widodo's son (Gibran) and son-in-law (Bobby Nasution) have become the spotlight and a warm conversation in almost all levels of Indonesian society, especially in online media. This candidacy received many public responses because it was considered an excellent fit to take advantage of their father, Joko Widodo, which led to dynastic politics during the presidency. This research aims to discuss how the media discusses the patterns of political dynasties in Indonesia, especially in the era of Joko Widodo's leadership. Specifically, the purpose of this study is to determine the nomination of Gibran and Bobby, who are suspected of being a political dynasty through online media.

“…Riewanto's research (2020) show that there is a correlation between political dynasties in Simultaneous Pilkada and corrupt practices. Various studies (Mukti and Rodiyah, 2020;Arianto, 2021;Rahmatunissa, 2021;Dedi, 2022) found that the politics of kinship in Pilkada has damaged the quality of democracy at the local level. The research of Setyaningrum and Saragih (2019) show that political dynasties negatively affect local government performance.…”

This paper is about the rise of political dynasties in Indonesia. This phenomenon has become increasingly public attention since the nomination of President Joko Widodo’s son and son-in-law in the regional election in Solo and Medan. The village that has been considered far from the hustle and bustle of national politics also shows a similar phenomenon, namely the emergence of candidates for village head (kepala desa/kades) who are still related to family (pilkades sedarah).[1] But is pilkades sedarah a reflection of the existence of the political dynasty? This paper examines the village head election in Pliken Village, Banyumas Regency, which presents a married couple as village head candidates, using a qualitative approach. Collecting data through in-depth interviews, FGDs, observation, and documentation. The result of the study shows that the emergence of pilkades sedarah is not due to the existence of a political dynasty, but rather as pragmatic and rational reasons. Proposing a wife as a “competitor” is a pragmatic attitude just to get around the rules that prohibit a single candidate in village head election. The absence of other candidates who dared to oppose the incumbent was due to the rationality of the people who saw the high cost of candidacy which was not proportional to the official income of the village head. They also assessed that the prestige of the incumbent village head was high, both in terms of educational qualifications and achievements, so that the opponent’s chances of winning the competition were small.Keywords: political dynasty, village head election, blood relation[1] Pilkades sedarah is a term to describe that village head candidates still have family or blood relations.

(2020)). Indonesian politics is part of the dimensions of custom and tradition as it is a human entity of the archipelago.…”
