Every kuwu candidate and his supporters try to influence the people's suffrage in order to win the kuwu election. Kuwu candidates who get the most votes are declared as candidates for the election winners. What factors influenced the victory of the Kuwu election? This is an interesting problem that needs to be known. The results of empirical research on the practice of the election of the kuwu show that the family relationship between the voters and the candidate of the kuwu is the factor that most influences the victory of the kuwu election. Achievement and wealth factors of the prospective kuwu are the second and third factors that can influence the victory of the kuwu election in Indramayu Regency.
