The election results from time to time show that the number of women's representatives in the Semarang Regency Regional People's Representative Council continues to decline; however, two incumbent politicians, Lily Sri Wachiduni Choiriyah S.E. (Democratic Party) and Isroatun, S.H., M.H. (National Awakening Party/PKB), were able to maintain their victory for three terms. This study uses a qualitative method, with data collection through in-depth interviews with two incumbent female politicians and several other informants, such as members of political parties, campaign teams, and voters. The findings in this study reveal that social capital in the form of networks, trust, and norms play an important role in the victory of incumbent female politicians. This study also found that the political capital and economic capital of these two female politicians are also needed by these two women in winning the election contest. Keywords: incumbent female politicians, political capital, social capital, economic capital, and capitalization} }
