The gap between the financial abilities of prospective regional heads and the costs that have to be spent opens up opportunities for prospective regional heads to seek and receive additional funding. Political corruption occurs because of the institutionalization of clientelism and cultural factors in the form of a tradition of giving and receiving. This finding at least shows that political bondage is very thick in the postconflict local election process. This simultaneous post-conflict local election is more used to seize power and positions and win wealth for a handful of political elites and business people who are interested in obtaining political and security guarantees in perpetuating their business in the regions. The meeting of interests between politicians and business people (patronage and clientelism) is the gap for the practice of political bondage.
