JAKARTA: The Constitutional Court has kept the minimum age for Indonesia’s presidential and vice-presidential candidates at 40, but also ruled that this age limit does not apply to anyone who is an elected regional leader.
This decision paves the way for Indonesian President Joko Widodo’s elder son Gibran Rakabuming Raka to run for office in the February 2024 presidential election.
