This study arises from the emergence and development phenomena of the Independent Jogja volunteer organization (JOINT) ahead of the Yogyakarta pilwalkot in 2017. The JOINT volunteer organization movement arises because of various factors such as the chaotic social, economic, and political conditions in Yogyakarta as well. The absence of political parties and local governments in solving problems felt by the citizens of Yogyakarta City has led to negative assumptions and sentiments about the nature of political parties and regional heads. So JOINT was formed as well as being used as an alternative and tool to fight for the interests of the community. By using the case study research method, the researcher wants to know the background of the emergence and development of the Independent Jogja volunteer organization (JOINT). The results showed that in general JOINT can be classified as a new pseudo-party organization because of the elements in the body, the origins of the background, and their function and position based on events that have occurred tend to be similar to political parties. However, apart from the electoral process which stated that JOINT lost before the war because it failed to deliver its candidates to political contestation, it turned out that in fact all forms, activities, and strategies of JOINT were actually deliberately designed for other purposes, namely successfully delivering the main message in the form of an argument that the electoral process in Yogyakarta it is time to need a correction and an alternative.
