AbstractThe general election is activities of citizens, which are held every five years. In this activity the General Election Commission (KPU) as the organizer prepares all the needs to run elections based on related regulations, which has been changed several times. In former regulation, there is no stipulation on independent candidate nor  single-candidate local leader election. Political parties has roles to fulfil, two of them are political education and regeneration of political cadres. There are 17 political parties in Tasikmalaya but none of them nominate their best cadres. This article tries to describe the implications of single candidate in head of regency election to political parties. By applying qualitative research and empirical-juridical approach, it shows that there was an agreement between political parties in 2015 Tasikmalaya head of regency election to advocate single candidate, while independent candidates as alternative choice for people should fulfil various requirements that hindered their candidacies. Normatifly this phenomena has legal base with the Constitutional Court Decision No. 100/PUU/XIII/2015 that granted Effendi Ghazali’s plead, but substantially damaging democracy. It is feared to occur that a candidate who has strong financial backup influences political elite to support single candidacy. This condition can also discourage political partied to generate new cadres that has great capabilities to compete in general elections.Keywords:head of regency election, single candidate, political party Abstrak Pemilihan Umum adalah kegiatan warga Negara yang diselenggarakan setiap lima tahun sekali, dalam kegiatan ini KPU sebagai lembaga penyelenggara memper­siapkan segala kebutuhan untuk berjalannya pemilihan. Regulasi UU yang berkaitan dengan pemilihan kepala daerah sudah mengalami beberapa perubahan. UU sebelumnya tidak mengatur  calon tunggal dalam konstestasi pilkada. Munculnya fenemona calon tunggal mendorong Mahkamah Konstitusi mengeluarkan  putusan untuk diper­silahkan­nya calon tunggal. Uniknya salah satu tugas peran dan fungsi partai politik adalah edukasi politik, kaderisasi, lembaga yang kompetitif dalam pilkada, tidak mau mencalonkan dari kader-kader terbaiknya, padahal jumlah partai saat ini di Kabupaten Tasikmalaya sudah mencapai 17 partai. Tujuan tulisan ini adalah untuk memaparkanimplikasi calon tunggal kepala daerah Kabupaten Tasikmalaya terhadap partai politik. Dengan pendekatan yuridis empiris, hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat kesepakatan antar parpol pada masa pemilu tahun 2015 di Kabupaten Tasikmalaya untuk mengusung satu pasangan saja. Adapun calon perseorangan sebagai pilihan alternatif dihadapkan pada persyaratan yang menghambat proses pencalonan. Secara normatif hal tersebut tidak menjadi masalah dengan munculnya Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi No. 100/PUU/XIII /2015, namun secara substansi demokrasi hal tersebut berdampak buruk. Dikhawatirkan muncul kecenderungan pasangan calon yang mempunyai modal besar untuk membayar elit-elit politik agar dapat mempengaruhi munculnya calon tunggal serta mengurangi kemampuan organisasi dalam mencetak kader dan pemimpin yang mampu bersaing di arena pemilu.Kata kunci: Pemilihan Kepala Daerah, kandidat tunggal, partai politik.

Infamously, the 1991 Bulgarian Constitution contains a provision banning political parties “formed on an ethnic basis.” In the early 1990s, the neo-communist Bulgarian Socialist Party invoked this provision when it asked the country's Constitutional Court to declare unconstitutional the political party of the beleaguered Turkish minority. In this article, Venelin I. Ganev analyzes the conflicting arguments presented in the course of the constitutional trial that ensued and shows how the justices’ anxieties about the possible effects of politicized ethnicity were interwoven into broader debates about the scope of the constitutional normative shift that marked the end of the communist era, about the relevance of historical memory to constitutional reasoning, and about the nature of democratic politics in a multiethnic society. Ganev also argues that the constitutional interpretation articulated by the Court has become an essential component of Bulgaria's emerging political order. More broadly, he illuminates the complexity of some of the major issues that frame the study of ethnopolitics in postcommunist eastern Europe: the varied dimensions of the “politics of remembrance“; the ambiguities of transitional justice; the dilemmas inherent in the construction of a rights-centered legality; and the challenges involved in establishing a forward-looking, pluralist system of governance.

Understanding why certain candidates get nominated is an important aspect of political scientists. This topic is a narrow one and influences a wider variety of subjects such as the political parties, general elections, and even the extent to which the United States is a democratic country. Presidential nominees matter—they become the foremost spokesperson and the personified image of the party (Miller and Gronbeck 1994), the main selectors of issues and policies for their party’s general election campaign (Petrocik 1996; Tedesco 2001), a major force in defining the ideological direction of a political party (Herrera 1995), and candidates that voters select among in the general election. This volume is devoted to presidential nominations and the 2008 nomination specifically.
