Abstract

This study focuses on the political dynamics that arise from employing the open proportional electoral system, particularly in South Sulawesi. It evaluates the benefits and drawbacks of this system, examines the relationship dynamics between politicians and political parties since its implementation, and discussed various backgrounds related to the decision of Ilham Arif Sirajuddin (IAS) to change parties. This study uses a qualitative approach and secondary data as the main source. The results highlight the advantages of using an open proportional electoral system, as well as the various political dynamics it creates. Despite the implementation of this system, the political dynamics between politicians and political parties persist, with parties retaining their power and politicians relying on them, often switching parties to align with their political ideals at each stage of the political contest. The use of the open proportional system allows politicians to strategically select political parties as their vehicles, as demonstrated by Ilham Arif Sirajuddin, who switched parties ahead of the 2024 Indonesia general elections.
