RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
In The political recruitment and coalition of the Golkar and p parties in nominating the regent and deputy regent candidate pairs.
The next discussion is the commitment to the coalition of the Golkar and p parties in carrying the candidate pairs.
2 of 2008 concerning Political Parties, what is meant by a political party is an organization that is national in nature and was formed by a group of Indonesian citizens voluntarily on the basis of the same will and aspirations to fight for and defend the political interests of members, society, nation and state, and maintain integrity of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia based on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution.
According to Miriam Budiardjo, political parties are defined as organized groups with members who share values.
In addition, according to Antony Down, a political party is an open system, oriented towards participation, it can be used for the work of parties to carry out fair and open election responsibilities that make democracy work, without such parties democracy is impossible.
Opinions about these political parties also in line with the practice of the coalition of the Golkar Party and p which carried the candidate pair for Regent HM Natsir and Joko Sutanto in Demak district in the 2015 local nominated and won the candidate pair.
Even though in 2015 the Golkar Party and p experienced dualism33 which lasted from the central level to the regional level,it turns out that the two parties are still solidly carrying the candidate for regent H.
In addition, in line with Miriam Budiarjo regarding the definition of a political party, the promotion of the pair of candidates for regent and deputy regent.
HM Natsir and Joko Sutanto, by the Golkar and p parties is one of the objectives to gain power.
Political parties must have the means to be able to continue to exist in society through the mechanism of adding members or the emergence of new individuals who occupy structural positions in party organizations.
Political parties that have management from the central level to the branches, must carry out coordination between the management at the central level and at the branch level in a systematic manner.
One of the special characteristics of political party organizations that are not owned by other organizations is the desire to gain power 1 Analysis of political recruitment and the coalition of the golkar party and p in upporting the pair of candidate regent and candidate vice regent in the 2015 elections in demak regency Before discussing the process of determining candidates from the Golkar party in more detail, it is necessary to mention again that in the previous Demak district election,106 the Golkar party was one of the parties that supported the previous regent and deputy regent, namely H.
Dachirin Sai.
and the deputy regent of Demak district (Harwanto ), back forward with different bearer pairs and To see a map of the pairs of candidates for regent and deputy regent who advanced in the regional elections for Demak district in the 2015 contest.
In 2015, the Golkar party, which was experiencing internal divisions, certainly experienced obstacles in the mechanism of compromise, communication, and determining the course of the party's mission in the local elections.
Regarding why not to bring back one of the incumbent candidates .
ither regent or deputy regen.
, who had been nominated in the previous local election, the internal Golkar party has two reasons.
The internal reason was because the Golkar party in Demak district considered the performance of the previous local government to be less than optimal and not optimal, so they were reluctant to return for the pair of candidates, especially the previous regent.
This assessment does not only depart from the party itself.
It's not that Dachirin's pack isn't good.
But with the capital Mr.
Dachirin has, it doesn't seem optimal.
Sunari's opinion .
, regarding the previous regent's performance which was less than optimal, is reinforced by Pak Muin's view, 108 along with his response: It should have been like that from experience.
Many people are disappointed with the performance of Pak Dachirin and Herwanto.

So that the people have their own assessment of the candidate they want to support.
From this reason, the Demak district Golkar party decided not to support the incumbent and recruited candidates from its internal mechanism first.
incumbent candidates who have been nominated in previous regional elections.
The Process of Determining Prospective Candidates from the Golkar Party In the context of candidate recruitment at both the national and regional levels, the Golkar party opens the door for nominations from various walks of life.
Be it party cadres or non-cadres who wish to devote themselves to society through the Golkar party.
The above opinion was corroborated as stated by the Deputy Chairman of the Central Java Region Bapilu in the 2015 local elections, starting with the following requirements: The registration stage of prospective candidates.
The selection stage of prospective candidates.
The verification stage of prospective candidates.
The stage of determining the nomination of prospective candidates.
The stage of selecting and determining the elected Stage of ratification of candidate pairs.
and finally, is the stage of winning the candidate Of the seven stages of the assessment above, at least those that are directly related to this research are stages one through six.
Meanwhile, the seventh stage is the final stage in which the supporting party and the nominated candidate will form a winning team and develop their respective winning concepts and strategies.
In addition, the series of candidate recruitment stages .
specially points one to si.
, as Mr.
Sunari said, fits perfectly with the recruitment model conceptualized by Seligman.
At the screening stage, according to Seligman, this corresponds to the first and third stages of the recruitment mechanism for the Golkar party.
Demak district.
, namely the registration stage of prospective second selection of prospective candidates and third verification of prospective The two stages of nomination correspond to the fourth stage of recruitment of the Golkar party, namely the stage of determining the nomination of prospective candidates.
At this stage of the election, the mechanism in the Golkar party is the selection and validation of candidates.
is the figure of the candidate.
Is the person well known by the public and well known? The figure criteria is one of the important points in viewing potential candidates, opening up space for many parties or candidates from outside the internal cadres who have better personality aspects than party cadres, to be selected and elected.
This means that the aspect of party cadre is a point that can be secondary if there is a better candidate.
This opinion is not exaggerated when referring to Mrs.
Marlinda's answer regarding the promotion of non-cadres from the Golkar party, along with her responses:In my opinion for the Central Java case, the determining factor is the candidate figure.
sufficient electability, the result will be the same.
For example, the candidate is the chairman of the regional Golkar, if at the time of selection the candidate does not have enough electability, compared to other candidates/non-cadres, the chairman must resign.
Considering that at that time the Golkar party was experiencing dualism, which resulted in the existence of two Golkar party camps, which were comprehensive, from the national level to the regional level.
In the recruitment of candidates for the Demak district Golkar party in 2015, these obstacles began to be seen after the registration stage for the candidates proposed by the Golkar As said by Mr.
Sunari, initially there were several names of candidates who entered.
The following is Mr.
Sunari's opinion regarding the names of the candidates who have entered.
However, due to the conditions in which each party in the conflict does not want to be harmed, because one candidate will be chosen from the party to be carried.
Therefore, after an internal party meeting, to find a better solution, an alternative path was chosen, namely looking for another candidate, outside of the cadres of each party.
Pre Process for Determining Candidates from the United Development Party .
Before discussing recruiting from the internal p Demak district, in general it is commonplace for a party to support candidate candidates who have qualified political capital.
candidates with performance and other candidates, or nominating someone from outside the party who allows fajam regarding leadership aspects.
In addition, it seems quite reasonable, that p Demak district .
must choose a figure or figures outside the cadres.
Because there are several factors that become obstacles to the recruitment of carriers.
First, what is very clear is the dualism of the party which more or less creates obstacles.

A This is evidenced by the fact that each camp is given the opportunity to carry out a recruitment The second is the factor where the number of p legislative seats in the Demak district DPRD for the 2014-2019 period only won five .
So by looking for a non-cadre figure, it will certainly be an advantage in itself, because in the context of seeking victory.
Pak Natsir's voter segmentation is quite broad.
After the names of the definite candidates that will be carried by the Golkar and p parties have been released, then the two parties communicate to next is to determine who the candidates will be as candidates for Regent and vice regent candidates.
Based on the field data from the interview results, it seems that the position determination process is not that complicated and difficult.
Each party .
etween the Golkar party and .
already knows each other's strengths and weaknesses in the candidates promoted by their coalition parties.
From the names of HM Natsir and Joko Sutanto, then the Golkar party and p together, held deliberations.
From the results of the deliberations it was agreed that HM Natsir was designated as a candidate for regent and Joko Sutanto was designated as a candidate for deputy regent.
During the internal meeting process, the reasons for agreeing on HM Natsir as a candidate for regent were based on several reasons.
Agreement to Determine Candidates for Regent and Deputy Regent Candidates Promoted by Golkar and p parties After the names of definite candidates that will be carried by Golkar and p parties have been released, the two parties then communicate to the next stage to determine who the candidates will be as candidates for Regent and deputy mayoral candidates.

Each party (Golkar and p partie.
already know each other's strengths and weaknesses in the candidates proposed by their coalition parties.
Natsir and Joko Sutanto, then the Golkar party and p together, held deliberations.
During the internal meeting process, the reasons for agreeing on HM Natsir as a candidate for regent were based on several reasons.
Natsir is considered capable of being a differentiator from other candidate pairs .
specially compared to Joko Sutant.
, because he is active in the world of Apart from being listed as the head of the Demak district PGRI, he is also active in the world of scouting and what is no less important is H.
appoint Pak Natsir as Demak sat and Pak Joko Demak two.
The reason is that Mr.
Natsir has a larger voter base .
Meanwhile.
Mr.
Joko is lacking in seeing who the voters are.
By looking at the responses from Mr.
Nurul, the consideration for choosing Mr.
Natsir can be analyzed that in the process of determining the position of Demak one and Demak two, what is more dominant in the assessment is the social capital .
of the prospective So that the assessment of the figure or personality does not look at the career track record of the prospective candidate.
It's not like the consideration process at the time of the party's internal selection, which also takes into account the track record of a career.
In fact, if you look at the career track records of the two potential candidates.
Joko Sutanto's name is more convincing.
Especially considering that Mr.
Joko was also an active member of the regent's expert staff at that time, so that during the deliberation process for determining the positions of the candidates who had been prepared, they tended to see a larger segmentation of voters, and could attract greater public sympathy.
CONCLUSION
This study found an interesting fact in determining the recruitment of candidates for regent and deputy regent in the 2015 regional head election in Demak Regency, which were promoted by the Golkar and p parties, who came from outside the party cadres.
In the context of the Golkar party, recruitment is still carried out in accordance with general procedures.
But considering that the Golkar party at that time was facing party dualism.
In the end, there was an agreement as a way out that the Golkar party from each side had to drop the names that had entered and look for and elect new This means that the conflict that occurred within the Golkar party in Demak district had to sacrifice its cadres to be promoted and nominated as regional head candidates.
In addition, considering that in the 2015 contest there were incumbents who again ran for regional elections, the Golkar party must choose a candidate who has a good track record, figure and electability.
This means that if you only rely on the track record of membership in the party, it is clearly not enough Political parties and political recruitment .

Furthermore, even in the context of the p Demak district, the dualism conflict that occurred was not as hot as the Golkar party.
But this party also finally chose and determined a candidate to be carried from outside its cadres, namely HM Natsir.
Similar to the considerations of the Demak district Golkar party, the cadres who took part in the recruitment process had less track record and personality, compared to candidates from outside the party.
Apart from that, another consideration is that if the Demak district p does not support those who are capable enough to fight against incumbents, it is feared that they will be less capable in political competition in the 2015 Demak district elections.
In general, despite all the obstacles, obstacles and challenges faced by each party, both internally and externally, the two parties clearly did not fight for their respective cadres to be promoted So that it can be said that the Golkar and p parties failed to carry their cadres as candidates to be carried out in the 2015 Demak district election contestation.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Future academic research is expected to be able to further explore the pattern of political recruitment that is implemented together with coalition forms in Indonesia.
Make comparisons of recruitment patterns with other parties and under other conditions at a certain level and at a certain time and practically so that political parties increase the capacity of their cadres to become candidates for people's representatives both in the executive and legislative branches with qualified At the same time, opening the widest possible opportunity for the wider community to participate in serving the community through political parties without any restrictions.
