Indonesian Court's Ruling Eliminates Presidential Nomination Threshold, Boosts Democracy

Credited from: SCMP

  • Pro-democracy activists in Indonesia have celebrated a pivotal ruling by the Constitutional Court that abolishes a regulation limiting presidential nominations to major parties.
  • This ruling declares a 2017 election law provision unconstitutional, thus allowing more political competition against entrenched elites.
  • A group of university debate champions successfully petitioned the court, marking a significant win for democratic participation.
  • Although many welcome the decision, some fear it may lead to an oversaturation of candidates in future elections.
  • The court stated that the previous threshold had restricted voters' constitutional rights to a diverse range of presidential and vice-presidential candidates.
