ANOTHER controversial age-related court ruling in Indonesia has paved the way for another son of outgoing President Joko Widodo, popularly known as Jokowi, to run in an election.
On May 30, the country’s Supreme Court decided in favour of a rule change on the minimum age of candidates in November’s regional head elections. Now, candidates have to be aged 30 only when they are inaugurated, rather than when their election bid is confirmed.
