Abstract

This study discusses the political strategies carried out by the Islamic Defenders Front organization in the victory of a pair of Muslim governor candidates in the 2017 Jakarta gubernatorial election. The political strategies carried out in each phase involved mass mobilization for the political candidate, the usage of religious identities by the Islamic Defenders Front to influence the political choices of Jakarta Muslim communities, and the usage of networks of religious communities and mosques for lectures and other religious activities to campaign for the Muslim governor candidate pair. This study used the concept of the theory of convergence between the theory of identity orientation and mobilization of resources to analyze how the religious instruments owned by the Islamic Defenders Front organization assisted them in the process of governor leadership succession in the capital city of Indonesia.
