This is a List of Political Dynasty Figures According to Netizens

"Dynasty politics" can be interpreted as political power exercised by a group of people with kinship or family ties.

According to Ratna Dewi Pettalolo, a member of the Indonesian Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu), dynasty politics manifests in various forms, such as the use of state institutions to support the interests of ruling relatives.

"(Dynasty politics) can be like the mobilization of bureaucracy by powerful relatives to support their other relatives in regional head elections," said Dewi, as quoted from the official Bawaslu website (August 27, 2020).

According to Continuum's research, the figures most often associated with dynasty politics today are President Jokowi and his two sons, Kaesang Pangarep and Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

Continuum obtained this information from monitoring conversations on social media during the period of January 24-30, 2023. They found 1,381 conversations related to the issue of dynasty politics, with the majority linking it to the President's family.

"Jokowi, Gibran, and Kaesang are the most frequently associated, because of the issue of Kaesang following in the footsteps of Jokowi and Gibran to enter politics," said the Continuum team in their report, *Political Dynamics Towards 2024*, released on Sunday, February 5, 2023.

According to Didik J. Rachbini, founder of Continuum Big Data, dynasty politics also exists in developed countries, but it is controlled by an effective system of checks and balances. In Indonesia, however, he believes dynasty politics has become intertwined with oligarchy.

"Dynasty politics currently occurs in rural areas, intertwined with local oligarchy, making it difficult for the people to obtain healthy democratic practices," said Didik J. Rachbini, quoted from a summary received by the Katadata editorial team on Sunday, February 5, 2023.

"Power will be inherited from generation to generation by their own family, and mixed with business interests, so access to resources and others should be monitored," he continued.
