The People's Wave Party (Gelora) of Binjai City, as a new political party established in 2019, seeks to play a strategic role in public political education as part of efforts to strengthen democracy in Indonesia. This study aims to evaluate and analyze the implementation of the role of political education by the Gelora Party in Binjai City, as well as to identify the challenges and solutions faced in its implementation. The research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach, data was collected through in-depth interviews with students from STKIP Budidaya and related literature studies. Thematic analysis was used to identify the main themes in the implementation of political education by the party. The results of the study show that although the Gelora Party is aware of the importance of political education as part of its normative function, its implementation still faces various challenges. These challenges include limited resources, low political literacy of the community, and the dominance of established parties that are better known to the public. In addition, there are internal obstacles such as an immature organizational structure and a lack of effective cadre formation. The researcher recommends several solutions to overcome these challenges, including collaboration with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) or academics, a local approach in delivering political education materials, creative use of digital media, and involving the community in political education activities. These strategies are expected to increase the effectiveness of political education implemented by the Gelora Party in Binjai City.References
