Abstract

The success of the Gerindra Party as a political party that is able to survive in national politics cannot be separated from the leadership of Prabowo Subianto as a symbol of party leadership in carrying out political consolidation, both related to party ideology, strategy, and movement discipline. Prabowo’s personality and leadership factors have been the mainstays of the success of the Gerindra Party since its founding until now in the entire party consolidation process from the national and provincial to district/city levels in many regions in Indonesia to be able to survive in four (times) elections and finally achieve power with Prabowo’s election as President of the Republic of Indonesia for the 2024-2029 term. This research method is qualitative research with descriptive analysis. The purpose of this study is to analyze how Prabowo’s figure becomes a symbol of party leadership. The results of this study explain the choice of the Gerindra Party to implement political meritocracy, although the nuances are very positive in terms of political morality, has not been fully understood by the community. The election system in Indonesia, which is open and adopts a multi-party system, has an impact on the community’s choice not being narrowed down to the Gerindra Party in the regions. During the campaign, Prabowo’s position as a presidential candidate meant that he had to campaign not only specifically for the Gerindra Party because morally Prabowo was supported by coalition political parties.
