| Summary: | Before the regional head elections, the Minister of Home Affairs
(Mendagri) appoints acting regional heads, sparking discussions
about accountability. This study aims to analyze the development of
regulations for appointing acting regional heads and their implications
for accountability. The research, conducted as normative juridical
research using secondary data, reveals two key findings. Firstly, there
are three distinct aspects differing in the process of appointing acting
regional heads: the reasons for filling the position, the criteria for
becoming acting, and the extended term of the acting position without
accountability. Secondly, the lack of accountability in the appointment
process has implications, including the potential for acting regional
heads lacking understanding of the region, the presence of acting
regional heads driven by political interests, their limited experience
and increased vulnerability to political influence, and the risk of
unsustainable programs initiated by the previous regional head.
