This study analyzes the role of kinship and group solidarity in determining the success of the pair of regional head candidates in Pacitan Regency in the 2020 Regional Head Election (Regional Election). This study uses a descriptive approach with a qualitative method that involves the analysis of secondary data from electronic media, scientific documents, and interviews with selected sources. The results showed that kinship solidarity, which involves emotional connections between family members, and group solidarity, such as religious and professional communities, played a significant role in building political support. The figure of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) as a local figure with national influence is a key element that drives support through social networks and ethnopolitical values. Structured and adaptive campaign strategies, utilizing digital technology and a community-based personalization approach, have succeeded in increasing voter participation despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings highlight the importance of social capital and solidarity networks in shaping political legitimacy at the local level, with implications for more inclusive and representative democratic practices.
