Abstract
This study examines campaign practices in the Regional Election 2020 in three regencies in Gorontalo Province. The locus of the problem is the existence of campaign practices on the aspects of the period, objectives, and dynamics, and the view of siyasa fiqh regarding this matter. This qualitative study employs a juridical and fiqh siyasa approach. Data collection uses in-depth interviews and documentation related to objects. The results show that the campaign practices in the Regional Election 2020 in Pohuwato, Gorontalo, and Bone Bolango Regencies still need to fulfill the element of justice for all candidate pairs, especially for non-incumbent candidates. The non-fulfillment of this principle of justice from the perspective of siyasa fiqh is considered to have usurped the political rights of non-incumbent candidate pairs. In addition, money politics tends to reinforce that the dominance of economic capital is still a reference for attracting voters.
