The Movement of Opposition Political Parties in Social Media: Case Study of Relocation the Indonesia Nation's Capital Policy

The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) is a minority opposition in Parliament Indonesia; other political parties are in the ranks of supporters of President Joko Widodo's government. One of the government policies rejected by PKS is the relocation of the National Capital City (IKN). PKS uses it to voice its criticism consistently by utilizing Twitter. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the PKS opposition movement using Twitter in the IKN relocation policy. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. This research uses Nvivo 12 plus to analyze data. The findings of this study are that disturbing economic recovery is the most dominant content spread by PKS on Twitter as a criticism of the IKN relocation policy. Likewise, the narrative spread by PKS on Twitter is to bring up why the party rejects the approach. Then, PKS involved its elite cadres in actively spreading its criticism on Twitter. PKS's digital opposition movement became more intense when the IKN Bill was passed. However, the dominance of the government coalition in parliament still determines the smooth running of the policy. Thus, the conclusion of this study emphasizes that social media has become a new space for minority opposition political parties to criticize as a form of balancing against the power of the government coalition. The formal opposition movement joins other entities outside the system in the digital space to seek to shake the policies of a government whose majority is approved by parliament.
