The decision, which would push back national polls until 2025 at the earliest, has drawn widespread criticism and questions about the court's authority and why it deemed all election processes must be stopped.
judicial oversight body on Friday, March 3, said it would summon judges from a district court to explain what it called a “controversial” ruling that effectively ordered a delay in 2024 presidential and general elections.
“If there are strong suspicions that there was a foul play from the part of the judges, then the commission will probe said judges,” said Miko Ginting, a spokesperson for Indonesia’s Judicial Commission. The ruling has revived a debate regarding President Joko Widodo’s tenure, where some senior political figures openly back the idea of him staying beyond his second term, which ends next year, while others warn that would roll back two decades of hard-won democratic reforms.
