Abstract

Political parties in Indonesia are the most important part on consolidating democracy in the diverse local level. The management of issues carried out by political parties faces different challenges, and must comply with democratic principles such as accountability, equality, and justice. If there is an error in managing a political party, it will have a negative impact on the citizens' agreement about the consolidation of democracy. This study selects its data source from key informants based on their knowledge, such as the leaders of political parties, academics, and community leaders. The findings explain that political parties in North Sumatra have not been fully managed to meet the principles of democracy. The pattern of recruitment, regeneration, and assignments in public positions conducted by political parties is still transactional. The recruitment is based on popularity and the ownership of funds. This pattern results in a number of cadres proposed for the public officials who do not have good technical and moral qualifications. The management model of democratic political parties that meets the requirements of accountability, equality, and justice still faces cultural and regulatory obstacles.
