JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia's Constitutional Court will next week rule on a petition seeking to lower the minimum age of presidential and vice presidential candidates in elections, which could pave the way for President Joko Widodo's eldest son to run in 2024.

The world's third-biggest democracy is set to vote in simultaneous presidential and legislative elections in February next year.
