Abstract

This study discusses the defeat of ObonTabroni in the simultaneous elections held in Bekasi District in 2017. In a local election, there were five candidates for regent and vice regent, and two of them through independent path. ObonTabroni was the representative of the trade union FSPMI who used the independent way. However, unions and laborers who support the ObonTabroni partner in the regent's nomination in Bekasi 2017, did not guarantee that all support and votes were given to Obon. It is evident that when the election ended on February 15, 2017, Obon and his partner declared their failure. This article uses the qualitative method to find out what factors make the laborers' representatives lose in the 2017 election in Bekasi Regency. As the conclusion, four factors influence the defeat of ObonTabroni as labor representatives in election 2017. First, less popularity of ObonTabroni among Bekasi regency community. Second, the fraud of other candidates used money politics. Third, the number of voters who did not vote. Fourth, the voice of the union was divided and the lack of solid voice of the workers and also lack of political experience from the workers.
