Celebrities make good candidates because of the "well-known" phenomenon. Voters often see celebrities as "people they know" this gives celebrities a kind of credibility that normal politicians do not have. Voters are much more likely to focus on their background and personality than their substantive stances.
But, being famous does not guarantee victory as seen by the failure of Saiful Jamil, unsuccessful "Walikota" candidacy.
