Dinamika politik bandar amat menarik kerana kedudukannya di pusat bandar yang mengalami proses urbanisasi dan sosialisasi serta tempat tumpuan segala aktiviti manusia. Proses-proses ini akhirnya menimbulkan tekanan kepada penghuni bandar dan seterusnya mempengaruhi persepsi dan tingkah laku politik mereka. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis politik bandar di dua kawasan bandar di Lembah Klang iaitu Petaling Jaya Selatan (Selangor) dan Batu (Kuala Lumpur). Berdasarkan soal selidik dan pemerhatian di lapangan, kajian mendapati bahawa 71.0% responden di Batu dan 57.6% di Petaling Jaya Selatan (PJS) menyatakan gagasan “1 Malaysia: Rakyat Didahulukan, Pencapaian Diutamakan” disokong, dihayati dan dimanifestasikan oleh pengundi. Daripada aspek governans pula, 70.7% (Batu) dan 62.9% (PJS) responden menyatakan Indeks Petunjuk Prestasi (KPI) untuk wakil rakyat dan menteri adalah baik dan mempengaruhi sokongan rakyat terhadap kerajaan. Dasar/pembaharuan yang dilakukan oleh kepimpinan Perdana Menteri dalam memantapkan pembangunan negara terus mendapat sokongan rakyat. Sementara itu tingkah laku politik yang digambarkan melalui status pendaftaran sebagai pemilih/pengundi menunjukkan sebanyak 86.0% di Batu dan 87.9% di PJS telah mendaftar sebagai pemilih, masing-masing 5.8% (Batu) dan 17.9% (PJS) menganggotai parti politik UMNO; 4.4% (Batu) dan 13.2% (PJS) menyertai PAS; 0.1% (Batu) dan 21.2% (PJS) menjadi ahli DAP; 6.2% (Batu) dan 20.7% (PJS) merupakan ahli PKR; dan 73.1% (Batu) dan 54.3% (PJS) tidak menyertai mana-mana parti politik. Pengundi di kawasan Parlimen Batu menjangkakan Barisan Nasional akan berjaya merampas kembali kerusi Parlimen Batu namun akan tewas di Petaling Jaya Selatan dengan margin yang tipis. Senario ini menunjukkan kekuatan parti politik di bandar adalah seimbang dan bergantung kepada isu dan pelunasan keperluan pengundi di kawasan berkenaan.Kata kunci: Politik bandar; persepsi pengundi; tingkah laku politik ; urbanisasi; governans
