Indonesia Court Declares Presidential Candidate Vote Threshold Not Legally Binding

Credited from: REUTERS

  • Indonesia's Constitutional Court has ruled that the law establishing a minimum vote threshold for presidential candidates is not legally binding.
  • This decision may allow more candidates to enter the 2029 presidential race, easing restrictions for smaller parties.
  • The current law mandates a party must secure 20% of votes in legislative elections to nominate a candidate.
  • Chief Justice Suhartoyo stated that the vote threshold lacks legal power, though the ruling did not specify changes to the requirement.
  • A political analyst welcomed the ruling, indicating it could reduce smaller parties' reliance on larger ones, despite the possibility of future legislative amendments.
