**Indonesia\u2019s Constitutional Court Ends 20% Presidential Threshold**
In a landmark ruling, Indonesia\u2019s Constitutional Court declared the 20% presidential threshold unconstitutional, overturning Article 222 of the Election Law. This threshold required political parties to secure at least 20% of DPR seats or 25% of the national vote to nominate a presidential candidate. The decision, announced on January 2, 2025, allows more candidates to enter the race, broadening democratic participation.
While major parties like Golkar expressed surprise, the ruling was celebrated as a step toward inclusivity. However, dissenting judges argued the petitioners lacked legal standing. As the 2024 elections approach, Indonesia faces the challenge of adapting to this new, more competitive political landscape.
