Deasy Simandjuntak, « Indonesia’s Upcoming 2024 Presidential Election: Political Binarism and its Impact on Democracy », Institut de recherche sur l’Asie du Sud-Est contemporaine, ID : 10.4000/books.irasec.7703
Indonesia, the world’s third largest democracy and generally considered as Southeast Asia’s democratic beacon, will have its general election on 14 February 2024, where 206 million eligible voters will vote for the president, representatives in the national and local parliaments, and senators. Incumbent President Joko Widodo is ineligible to run for a third term due to the term limits established by the Indonesian constitution. For the moment, the coalitions remain open. Local elections will also be held on 27 November 2024 across 548 regions: 37 provinces, 415 regencies and 98 cities. This commentary discusses the prospect of various aspects of the Indonesian 2024 presidential election, including the candidacy, political polarisation and what we can expect of Indonesia’s politics going forward.
