Abstract

The position of the deputy regional head in Indonesia is not actually stated
and stated clearly in the constitution, but in normative juridical terms the position
of the deputy regional head in Indonesia can be seen from Article 66 paragraph
(1) of the law on regional government number 23 of 2014.
The main problem in this research is regarding the vacancy of the deputy
governor, and the vacancy of the deputy regent which creates political interests
that clearly show that the elite is not taking sides with the broad public benefit.
The vacant positions of Deputy Governor, Deputy Regent and Deputy Mayor will
be filled if the remaining term of office is more than 18 (eighteen) months from the
vacancy of the position.

research which takes quotations from reading books, or supporting books that are
related to the problem to be researched. This research uses secondary data
sources consisting of primary, secondary and tertiary book materials. This
research also uses qualitative data analysis and produces descriptive data.

conclusions were obtained, namely: First, the procedures for filling vacancies for
deputy regional heads who come from political parties and combinations of
