Social media's influence on political processes is one of the most frequently discussed issues in both public and scholarly circles today. Unquestionably, social media has become a cheap and effective tool for political competitiveness. Political leaders might favour social media communication since it enables candidates to interact directly with voters, discussing their beliefs, life experiences, and policy objectives. Additionally, it provides a forum for interaction long before candidates formally announce their intention to run for office. Direct communication between politicians and the public is made possible by social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, Tok-tok, WhatsApp, and X. Bypassing the filters of traditional media, this direct channel of contact enables politicians to deliver their messages live and uncensored. Politicians can utilize these platforms to address political issues, support social causes, and mold their public image. Social media influences public opinion and motivates group action by encouraging increased public participation, networking, and idea organization. Leveraging social media's advantages while reducing its threats requires an understanding of its complex effects on politics. Social media's influence on global political landscapes will only grow as it develops further.

This research examines the transformation of political communication strategies in the digital era, specifically the use of Instagram by Tegal Regency's candidate Regents in the 2024 Regional Election. The high social media penetration in Indonesia, with 97% of Instagram users actively interacting, creates new opportunities and challenges in regional-level political communication. The research aims to analyze the digital personal branding strategies and political communication effectiveness of both candidates through Instagram. The research method employs a descriptive qualitative approach with social media content analysis using Nvivo 12 Pro, focusing on Instagram accounts @bimasakti19 and @ischak.mr during the September-October 2024 period. Research findings show significant strategy differences between the two candidates: @bimasakti19 implements an interactive approach with consistent hashtag #LOKENPANKAYAKIEBAE and actively reposts community support, while @ischak.mr focuses on field activity documentation and direct interaction.

This study analyzes and visualizes the network dynamics of the "Tolak Penundaan Pemilu" movement on Twitter, focusing on network structure, types of relationships, and overall connectivity. Using Graph Theory to define the network and Resource Mobilization Theory (RMT) to understand the role of resources, particularly human resources, in mobilizing social movements, the study applies quantitative Social Network Analysis (SNA) to a dataset comprising 2,210 nodes and 1,406 edges. Data was collected through text mining using Netlytic and analyzed with Gephi and Ucinet. The results indicate that the network has a two-mode relationship type with a radial personal network communication pattern, and the relationship direction is directed and asymmetrical. The network structure consists of 35 components, 3 isolated nodes, 47 cutpoints, and no cliques, indicating a fragmented and hierarchical network nature. These findings provide insights into the distribution of information and support within the "Tolak Penundaan Pemilu" movement.
