The research on “Analysing Regional Trends in Indonesia Prior to the 2019 Indonesian General Election” with an emphasis on the ongoing gubernatorial election in East Java Province and West Kalimantan Province has the primary aim of teasing out the dynamics of the election and its potential implications for the upcoming 2019 Indonesian general election. The key research questions analysed are: (i) the relationship between the candidates and political parties who are supporting them; (ii) the role of Islam and politics at the regional level and; (iii) business and politics relationship at regional level. The research will utilise qualitative interviews with resource persons from representatives and campaign staffs from the gubernatorial campaigns, political party representatives, politicians, Islamic civil society organisations and representatives of the business community supporting the different candidates in East Java and West Kalimantan.
