- Abstract
This article tries to explain the institutionalization of post-electoral political links. This research is motivated by the case of a member of the East Java DPRD from the Indonesian Democratic Party faction who succeeded in winning legislative elections for two consecutive periods, namely the 2014 and 2019 elections. Interestingly, he is not an original PDIP cadre and received the last serial number in two election periods. This research concludes that political links greatly influence vote acquisition during elections. Even though the votes obtained in the second period in 2019 were not much different from the votes in the previous period, the capital he spent was very little, even a quarter of that spent during the first period elections. Apart from that, the practice of political links has run informally through personal relationships between DPRD members and constituents without political party policies, thus creating a model of personalized linkage, not party linkage. This certainly influences the institutionalization of political party representation in Indonesia.
