Objective: Objective: This research examines the problem of Political Dynamics and Conflict of Interest in the Implementation of Government Policy in DKI Jakarta for the 2017-2018 Period with the aim of explaining the response of interest groups and political factions of the DPRD to it, because of the political conflict between the opposition factions of the DKI Jakarta Regional Government in the DPRD DKI Jakarta and the Regional Government of DKI Jakarta, and the impact of the policies of the Regional Government of DKI Jakarta after the national political conflict.

Methods: This research is descriptive qualitative in nature, this writing uses qualitative methods, with primary and secondary data where data from sources using in-depth interviews, as well as documents and other written data, both printed and digital, is processed.

Results: The results of data processing show that interest group responses give rise to political conflict, support and rejection from various groups in different societies encourage the interests of political elites to maintain legitimacy or also to delegitimize. This conflict of interest between political elites is apparently getting bigger due to the influence of the conflict at the central level which occurred previously. This cannot be separated from the influence of conflict between coalition camps at the national level, the interests of interest groups, and the very unique sharing of actors in this conflict of interest. This strengthens the influence of the conflict. at the national level which had occurred some time before and had led to increasingly large conflicts between elements of society in Jakarta.

Conclusions: The results of data processing show that interest group responses give rise to political conflict, support and rejection from various groups in different societies encourage the interests of political elites to maintain legitimacy or also to delegitimize. This conflict of interest between political elites is apparently getting bigger due to the influence of the conflict at the central level which occurred previously. This cannot be separated from the influence of conflict between coalition camps at the national level, the interests of interest groups, and from the very unique sharing of actors in this conflict of interest. This strengthens the influence of the conflict. at the national level which had occurred some time before and had led to increasingly large conflicts between elements of society in Jakarta.

Research Implications: This policy then had an impact in the form of fairer law enforcement, reducing opportunities for entrepreneurs to manipulate laws and regulations, increasing legal awareness in politics and establishing policies and the popularity of the DKI Regional Government, and increasing similar cases in Jakarta.

Including the structure of those in power and those controlled, the struggle for certain positions of power, playing with sources of power. for pragmatic purposes, worldview (view of life), and wider conflict areas/conflict areas above.
