Escalation of Political Conflict in the Management of the West Sumatera Hanura Party Regional Representative Council

Abstract

This research discusses the political conflict in managing the Regional Executive Board of Hanura Political Party in West Sumatera. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach with descriptive type. The theory used in this research is the theory of conflict-causing factors from Simon Fisher and the concept of political conflict from Ramlan Surbakti. From the research that was conducted, it was found that some factors caused the political conflicts. Firstly, a sense of distrust from the management of the regional executive Board of Hanura Political Party in West Sumatera towards Osman Sapta Odang. Secondly, the Chief of Regional Executive Board of Hanura Political Party in West Sumatera was disappointed about Wiranto's inability to take an outright stance regarding the conflicts that occurred in the management. Thirdly, a lack of mutual respect between senior and junior figures of the Hanura Political Party in West Sumatera. Fourthly, different opinions about party management between Osman Sapta Odang's side and Daryatmo's side. The political conflict in Hanura has implications for the replacement of the chairman of the Regional Representative Council of the Republic of Indonesia and the dismissal of 10 Hanura Political Party members from the Regional House of Representatives in West Sumatera, who are on Daryatmo's side; therefore the dismissed cadres chose to switch parties.
