JAKARTA (Reuters) -Indonesia's Constitutional Court on Thursday said a law requiring a minimum number of votes for political parties to nominate a presidential candidate was not legally binding, which could allow a wider range of candidates in 2029.
Under the current law, parties must win 20% of the vote, whether individually or through a coalition, at a legislative election to put forward a presidential candidate. A group of university students who said it limited the rights of voters and smaller parties challenged the law.
