INTRODUCTION The institutionalization of parties is an organizing process and procedures to achieve certain stability and values. Therefore, political institutionalization is a process in which citizens' interests, conflicts, demands, and support for the political system are channeled through institutions that have the authority to distribute (Alfian, 2008). In relation to this, it can be seen that the success of PAN (Partai Amanat Nasional) 1) in Southeast Sulawesi was influenced in part by officials from the National Mandate Party. Power or power expresses the capacity of an individual to intentionally have an impact on others. Influence is the ability to get people to comply with the will of the influencer. Politics bases itself on power, and this power is not evenly distributed within the organization http://iaeme.com/Home/journal/IJM 1356 [email protected] The Winning of Buton Regent’s Wife in Buton Regency DPRD for the 2014-2019 (Hoogerwerf, 1985). There are many PAN cadres in Southeast Sulawesi using their power to build their political power. Several officials in the Southeast Sulawesi region use their power/ position to facilitate their families to occupy positions in Government Offices, DPR RI 2) Provincial DPRD 3) and Regency / City DPRD 4). The third case occurred in Buton Regency where Samsu Umar Abdul Samiun as the Regent of Buton for two periods, 2012-2017, and 2017-2022 was able to pass his wife Iis Elianti as a member of the Buton Regency DPRD 2014-2019, even now became Deputy Regent of Buton Regency for the period 2018-2022. But during the second term, the elected Regent Samsu Umar Abdul Samiun was arrested by the KPK (Corruption Eradication Commission) after his second inauguration as Regent of Buton. Before becoming a member of the DPRD and when he was Deputy Regent of Buton Regency, Iis Elianti was a housewife. After Umar Samiun sat as Regent of Buton in 2012, Iis Elianti automatically became the head of the Buton District PKK (a community organization that empowers women to participate in Indonesia's development). Samsu Umar Samiun encouraged his wife Iis Elianti to advance as a member of the Buton Regency DPRD. Iis Elianti was born in Karawang on June 20, 1968 and last graduated from high school / equivalent. Umar Samiun, used his power as Regent of Buton to win over his wife as a member of the Buton Regency DPRD, a legislative candidate from the PAN party. where Samsu Umar Samiun is a cadre from the PAN party and the party that supported him as the Regent of Buton Regency. Buton Regent Samsu Umar Samiun instructed his staff directly to win his wife as a legislative candidate for the Buton Regency DPRD. by pressuring the Civil Servants in his ranks to win over his wife. In many cases, when someone in his ranks does not follow his wishes, it is not long before they are dismissed from their position and replaced by someone else. With the influence of her husband's position, Iis Elianti, the wife of Umar Samiun, became a member of the Buton Regency DPRD in the 2014-2019 election year. After two years as a member of the Buton Regency DPRD, Iis Elianti was appointed as Treasurer of PAN in 2016. 2. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK 2.1. Concept of Power Power (power) and politics are two complementary concepts. These two concepts can never be separated from one another, that's how the concepts of power and politics complement each other (Huntington, 1983; Hegel, 2003). There will be no political process when it does not involve power. On the other hand, there will be no power if there is no political involvement in it (Hotman, 1986; Harris, 2004) . So it is not an exaggeration if some people say that when we talk about politics, we are actually talking about power, and vice versa. According to Miriam Budiarjo (2008) power is the ability of a person or group of people to influence the behavior of a person or group of other people so that their behavior is in accordance with the wishes / goals of a person / group of people who have that power. Power according to Miriam Budiardjo is the ability of a person or group of human beings to influence the behavior of a person or other group in such a way that the behavior is in accordance with the wishes and goals of the person or State. Political power is the ability to influence public policy (government) both in the formation and consequences according to the goals of the holder of power itself (Peter, 2004). Political power is a part of social power whose focus is aimed at state control of social behavior, community obedience, and influencing state activities in the administrative, legislative and judicial fields (Haryanto, 1982) http://iaeme.com/Home/journal/IJM 1357 [email protected] Andi Yasni Try Yuliana, Muhammad Saad and Gustiana A. Kambo 2.2. The Concept of Political Party Cadre Recruitment Political parties can be defined as means of citizens to participate in or participate in the process of state management. Nowadays political parties are well known by the Indonesian people. As a political institution, parties are not something that exists by themselves. As a citizen, political activities are not focused on the formal aspects but also on the informal ones. Through political parties, the activities of every citizen will be recognized by the government more than the political activities carried out by each citizen which are more individual in nature. Through political parties, all politicians are given the same opportunity to express themselves based on the rules of the game that are mutually agreed upon through political parties (Kertakusuma, 2006); Hidayat, 2009). As a means of political recruitment for political parties, the function is to find and invite talented people to actively participate in political activities as party members (Suaib el ak., 2016). If we look at the function of political parties as a means of political recruitment, political parties are currently unable to carry out the aspirations of society in delivering development figures with integrity in accordance with the hopes and goals of forming parties for the benefit of society, to bridge the people on the one hand and the government on the other. Recruitment of members is carried out in a persuasive manner which begins with the socialization of the party to the community to show the existence of the party. Meanwhile, the implementation of the recruitment of candidates for legislative members is carried out through the selection stage, the screening stage, and the determination stage. This political recruitment function is very important for the continuity of the political system because without an elite capable of carrying out its role, the survival of the political system will be threatened. Through this process there will continue to be a role for people to continue it. The role of political parties as a means of recruitment in order to increase the political participation of the community, namely how political parties have a significant share in preparing cadres in political leadership, selecting prepared cadres, and struggling for the placement of qualified, dedicated cadres. , and has high credibility and has the support of the community in strategic political positions. Sukarna said that if political nominations were not selective then this would be detrimental feedback for the sustainability of political parties. Political recruitment is the election or selection of a person or group to carry out a number of roles in the political system and also in government.
