Artificial Intelligence in Election Party of Broker Clientelism Joxzin (Jogjakarta Islamic Never Die)

Abstract

Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) is a sultanate area led by a king or sultan. In the government, the sultan is the governor, whose duty is a lifetime. Regarding clientelism brokers, the emergence of patronage and political patronage practices still occurs in the government system of kingdom territory. Yogyakarta is known as the city of education and culture. Besides, Yogyakarta has a legendary community organization since the 1985s with its strength and power both in social and political as clientelism brokers. The organization is Joxzin (Jogjakarta Islamic Never Die). Joxzin always supports the legislative candidates or the president promoted by Partai Persatuan Pembangunan (PPP). Their support in the 2019 general election parliamentary candidates succeeded in making the candidate be the Regional Representative Council of the City of Yogyakarta (DPRD Yogyakarta). Joxzin, with its power, could appoint Anang to become the Chairperson of PPP’s Party Branch Development Board in Yogyakarta (DPC PPP Yogyakarta). The two examples refute the majority of previous research, whereas previous studies found that the client’s position was weak, and their resources were below the patron’s. However, the research done by the Joxzin’s client showed that Joxzin had resources above the patron represented by PPP. This research is important because of the era of big data in the 4.0 industrial revolution, AI as a search tool assisted by using the Nvivo 12 Plus analysis tool. In this study, the authors applied Social Network Analysis (SNA) with the assistance of the NVivo 12 Plus analysis tool to see the Joxzin social network as a mass organization and also the clientelism broker practice that was carried out by Joxzin in the 2019 elections with PPP. From the NVivo 12 Plus analysis, the results of the clientelism variable obtained several indicators. They are as a messenger, economic benefits, buying and selling votes, reciprocation, and a political party agent with the 2019 election. The five indicators are not all the same as the results of studies or research done by other experts.
