    by Hefrizal Handra, Raden Yudi Prawira Anjaya, Efa Yonnedi 
    Abstract: Local political variables are one of the factors that influence local government expenditure allocations. This study aims to analyze how local political dynamics, represented by two key variables the political closeness (executive-legislative alignment) and the term in office of the local head affect local government expenditure. This research uses panel data analysis comprising 456 districts in Indonesia during the period of 20122016. The results show that political closeness significantly affects the budget allocation for capital expenditures, but not for personnel expenditures or for social assistance. Meanwhile, the term in office has a significant effect on changes in personnel expenditure, but not on changes in capital expenditure or social assistance.
    Keywords: public finance; government expenditure; budgeting; expenditure allocation; local politics; local government.
