Abstract

This study aims to review and deepen the discourse on the political capital that is a political force in elections. To prove this, the Sumbawa regional head election 2020 was a case study through the pair of H. Mahmud Abdullah and DewiNoviany or abbreviated as Mo-Novi. The research method uses qualitative methods with relevant qualitative research types to answer questions in case study type research. The data collection method uses observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results of this study explain that this pair was favored through two capitals, namely political capital, and social capital. Despite being weak in economic capital, the pair was able to compensate with capital and other aspects to win the general election. The finding in this study is the emergence of symbolic capital derived from the dominance of political capital and social capital. This happened because voters saw the Mo-Novi pair as an acceleration of power and a political intermediary for local elites. This then makes this pair a symbol of political power that intersects with other political powers so that it can create order in the government.
