Abstract

The 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia in Article 18 paragraph 4 which is
that the Governor, Regent and Mayor are democratically elected to function to lead their regions
which have been given the trust of the people who have given their votes in the regional head
election. However, problems related to Regional Autonomy seem never to be resolved. The
problem that has arisen in the relationship between the central and regional governments is the
distribution of power and the allocation of financial resources. The exsistence of a deputy regent
in principle aims to help ease the tasks of the regional head. The representative should be a
“trusted person” or right-hand man of the regional head who has an emotional attachment to
one another. This trust will be a obtained if a regional head can freely choose his representative
without being bound to a system or management that is coercive.
