Political parties are one of the important instruments in building democracy. However, when political parties are demanded to be modern parties that carry out their activities legally and rationally, in the reform era, parties have fallen into various problems, one of which is the problem of personalizing political parties. By using qualitative explanatory methods that try to the phenomenon of political personalization in the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle, the Gerindra Party, and the Nasdem Party, it is known that factors caused the party personification are the charisma of certain person, patron-client culture, and economic motive. Although some previous studies have stated that personalizing political parties under certain conditions favors parties to maintain party solidity, the study found that these positive impacts were only apparent and short-term impacts. Personalization of political parties cannot be tolerated and compromised because the phenomenon has an impact on the building of political parties that are built from a system of dependence on certain figures who can play a holistic role for their parties. Furthermore, this condition threatens the party’s internal democracy which makes the institutionalization of political parties hampered, the death of party’s internal democracy, to the adverse impact on the elite circulation.
