  • Pro-democracy activists in Indonesia are hailing a recent Constitutional Court ruling that eliminates limitations on presidential nominations.
  • The January 2 ruling declared unconstitutional the requirement for parties to secure 20% of House seats or 25% of popular votes to nominate a candidate.
  • This decision aims to challenge the dominance of major political parties, allowing for greater diversity in presidential options.
  • Activists, including students who filed the petition, view this as a victory for democracy and citizens' rights.
  • Concerns exist about potential overcrowding of candidates in future elections, prompting calls for stricter party formation rules.
