Morphology
The meaning ('a donation intended for political purposes') is directly and transparently derived from combining 'political' (relating to politics) with 'contribution' (money or resources given). This modifier + noun composition follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern, so an average B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The phrase political contribution comes from the simple idea of political (about politics and leaders) and contribution (a gift of money). People have long given money to help a leader or a campaign, so political contribution now means 'a sum of money given to support a politician, party, or campaign'.
