Mapping The Local Political Conflict: Case Study On The Electoral Legislative In Nduga Regency, Papua

Abstract

This article is very powerful in reflecting on the importance of examining the issue of local political conflict and macro organizers of democratic elections. Initially, the main problem identified the causal factors that became the source of the tragedy of electoral conflict until violence and tribal war. Later, an analysis was developed towards developing a conflict resolution strategy using actual references to the latest editions to clarify the specific facts that occurred with regard to the holding of elections in Nduga District, Papua Province. Based on the schedule of the phasing of national elections, the legislative elections for the period of 2014-2019 should be held, including the registration, verification, and determination of political parties participating in the election. Since the registration and verification stage, there has been a potential conflict due to internal conflicts in the seizure of leadership positions of political parties that do not necessarily involve the Nduga District Election Commission (KPU). However, due to the lack of understanding of the party's political party to its own articles of association, it is intentionally and forced to involve the KPU as the organizer. The conflict then broke out as a tragedy that continued until a deadly tribal war. At a broader level, an analysis of macro-related approaches to free, secret, honest, and fair electoral systems is developed. Finally, it is concluded that the tragedy of political conflict at the local level is a very interesting study as a lesson in celebrating the general principles of democracy.
