Abstract

The representation of women in the West Sumatra regional legislative for the 2024-2029 period has increased, although it has not yet reached the 30% quota. A total of 10 women were elected out of 65 seats. This phenomenon is not significantly different from other regions, even though West Sumatra is known as the only matrilineal region that glorifies the central position of women. Various strategies were employed by female legislators in gaining the trust of the community. Gender strategies and political capital have become tools to break through the dominance of patriarchy in the electoral arena. The purpose of this study is to analyze the political capital and gender position in the winning strategies of elected female legislators in the matrilineal area. The research method is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques in the form of interviews and content analysis of publications. The results of the study show that the majority of elected legislators are those who have political capital in the form of organizational experience, connections with influential figures, and the use of gender proximity to attract the trust of female voters, who are the main target. The essence of matrilineal areas is not considered to have much influence on the victory of women in West Sumatra
