nepotistic candidate
Explanation:
Menurut kaidah bahasa, mestinya padanan yang lebih tepat ialah 'nepotistic candidate' dibandingkan dengan 'nepotism candidate'. Namun demikian, 'nepotism candidate' juga populer.

Contoh-contoh sebagai berikut:

or nepotism reform (all you need to do is allow "persons actually qualified" to hold a public office the right to sue journalists who promote the candidacy of a nepotistic candidate for slander & damages to their own candidacy, in their own opinion, the jury to decide);

For the second study, expected to be published in 2010, they tested if the qualification level of the nepotism candidate would affect those feelings of unfairness.

Because of this, it is possible that the merit candidate may have appeared to be more qualified than the nepotism candidate (even though their actual qualifications were identical) because there were no other candidates in the pool that were as qualified as he/she was.

disagree  argosys: Nepotism is "favoritism shown to relatives, esp. in appointment to high office". It excludes friends/cronies and others with whom advantageous deals have been made.
