The Influence of the Aceh Party on Azhari Cage's Victory in the 2024 Simultaneous General Election
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the influence of the Aceh Party on Azhari Cage's victory in the 2024 Simultaneous General Election as a member of the Regional Representative Council of the Republic of Indonesia (DPD RI). Using a qualitative approach through interviews and documentation techniques, the study found that although Azhari Cage ran as an independent candidate, informal support from the Aceh Party played a significant role in his success. This support was manifested through a strong political network and Azhari’s historical and emotional legitimacy as a former combatant of the Free Aceh Movement (GAM). The campaign strategy, which combined a narrative of political struggle and a personal approach, succeeded in building public trust. The study concludes that synergy between the personal strength of a candidate and the local political infrastructure can be a key formula for success in political contests, especially in regions with a background of conflict and strong political identity such as Aceh.
