2. Indonesian Netizens Criticize Kaesang Pangarep, Erina Gudono Amid Domestic Protests
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Kaesang Pangarep, the youngest son of President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo, and his wife Erina Gudono have faced significant backlash from Indonesian social media users for their lavish trip to the United States while massive domestic protests against government policies are ongoing.
The couple's journey coincides with widespread demonstrations opposing the proposed revision of the Regional Election Law (Pilkada Law), which aims to overturn a Constitutional Court decision regarding the threshold for regional head elections and age limit requirements for candidates. If the bill is passed, this revision could potentially allow Kaesang, who does not currently meet the age requirements, to run for deputy governor in the 2024 East Java Pilkada.
3. KPU Ensures to Adopt Constitutional Court Decision for Regional Election
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The General Elections Commission (KPU) has confirmed that the registration of regional head candidate pairs for the 2024 Regional Elections will be governed by the KPU regulations (PKPU) supplemented with new provisions in accordance with the Constitutional Court decision issued on Tuesday, August 20, 2024. This decision follows previous consultations with Commission II of the House of Representatives (DPR).
“We will ensure that the registration process on August 27-29 adheres to the regulations and incorporates the Constitutional Court's decisions,” stated KPU Chairman, Mochammad Afifuddin, at his office on Thursday, August 22, 2024.
