Abstract

Women’s role and position in politic still has little significant transformation since values and culture of patriarchy (a value whom emphasize more on male’s advantage) remains dominant in society.  Political activity often being depicted as dirty, dangerous yet full of anarchy without any advantages at all for society. Generally, it depicts the conditions in several Asian countries, except in Taiwan and South Korea which  has increased amount of woman legislative member from election to election. Even though in current condition, Indonesian society has positioned political matters in line with economic advantages, thanks to high rate of corruption among officials and politicians. It still possessed negative impact in society since money-politics brings too many people get jailed by Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). These conditions are assumed as triggering factor on woman’s declining participation rate in 2014’s Legislative Election in Bandung whom only leaving 3 candidates remains. By applied qualitative – descriptive approach and research instrument through Focus Group Discussion, it has been concluded that the declining rate of woman legislative candidates lied on internal political parties’ recruitment process do not positioned women as it should be. Money politics and local elite’s authority in regional level still dominated the recruitment process. Local Elite’s also purposely put woman legislative candidates in almost-final number, whom isolated women role only a mere “candidate” in legislative elections. Surely, policy from Central or Local Government should be improved in order to increase women’s capacity in politic especially in Legislative  candidate at Bandung.
