Indonesia on Monday amended the eligibility requirements to run for president and vice president, creating an exception to the minimum age threshold.
JAKARTA, Indonesia - Indonesia on Monday amended the eligibility requirements to run for president and vice president, creating an exception to the minimum age threshold that could pave the way for the incumbent's son to enter the race.
There has been widespread speculation that President Joko Widodo's 36-year-old son and current Surakarta City Mayor Gibran Rakabuming Raka will contest the 2024 presidential race as the running mate to Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto. The Constitutional Court is led by the president's brother-in-law, Chief Justice Anwar Usman, fueling further criticism.
Ray Rangkuti, a local political analyst, said the court's decision raised red flags about interference.
