Abstract

General Background: Political parties play a strategic role in strengthening democracy and aligning governance practices with Sustainable Development Goal 16 on peace, justice, and strong institutions. Specific Background: The 2024 election in Sidoarjo Regency highlights the importance of human resource development and adaptive political strategies within the Gerindra Party. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies have examined political communication and campaign strategies but have not sufficiently linked them with sustainable development frameworks, particularly SDG 16. Aims: This study aims to analyze human resource development and winning strategies of a political party and their relationship with SDG 16. Results: Using a qualitative case study approach, findings reveal that structured cadre regeneration, political education, and leadership training produce competent and integrity-driven cadres, while hybrid strategies combining digital and face-to-face campaigns effectively reach diverse voter segments. Additionally, SDG 16 values are reflected in inclusive governance practices, social programs, and community empowerment initiatives. Novelty: This study integrates human resource development, electoral strategy, and SDG 16 within a unified analytical framework at the local political level. Implications: Strengthening human resources and adopting sustainability-oriented strategies contribute to increased political legitimacy, public trust, and the advancement of sustainable democratic development in Indonesia.
