One of the dynamics of Indonesian democracy is the birth of local parties in Aceh Province and providing opportunities for individual or independent candidates to participate in the election of regional heads and deputy heads. The existence of local parties in Aceh Province is one form of democracy as regulated in Law Number 11 of 2006 concerning the Government of Aceh. Meanwhile, the participation of individual or independent candidates is to answer the voices of the people who want to participate in developing the country through independent channels without political parties. The purpose of this study is to understand the dynamics that occur in local political democracy in Indonesia. The research methodology uses qualitative methods with data collection techniques conducting observations, interviews, and documentation studies. The results of the study indicate that the dynamics of local political democracy in Indonesia have been running and developing following the evolving world political system. The Indonesian government has also prepared regulations to accommodate the democratic process. This can be seen from the opportunity for individual or independent candidates to be able to participate in the election. However, the results of the study also found that the participation of individual or independent candidates has not shown the strength of the competence, charisma, and image of the candidate to be a determining factor for victory. This can be seen in the percentage of participation and victory in the regional elections that continues to decline. In 2017 there were 101 regions in Indonesia that held simultaneous regional elections with the participation of 80 individual or independent candidates. The data shows that the results of the victory achieved by individual or independent candidates are only in 3 regions and the other 98 regions are dominated by representatives of political parties. Meanwhile, the existence of local parties continues to show their existence by continuing to win seats in parliament. The Aceh Provincial Election Independent Election Commission noted that even the Aceh Party in 2009, 2014, and 2019 always won the elections in Aceh Province by having the most council representation in all regions. However, the number of council representatives from local parties continues to decrease in number, in 2014 there were 33 people and in 2019 there were 28 representatives. The factors that cause the decline in the popularity of local parties are due to the loss of a unifying figure, loss of trust from the community, and many programs that are not pro-people.
