Abstract

The decision of the Constitutional Court No. 90/PUU-XXI/2023 on the age requirement for presidential and vice-presidential candidates has generated significant controversy in constitutional law, particularly regarding democratic stability. The ruling modified the statutory minimum age of 40 by allowing individuals who have held or currently hold elected public office to run, even if they are below that threshold. The judicial review was filed by Almas Tsaqibbirru Re A to support Gibran Rakabuming Raka in the 2024 election. This study adopts a normative juridical approach with a descriptive-qualitative method based on literature review. The findings reveal substantial weaknesses in the petitioner’s legal standing, as no direct constitutional harm was demonstrated. Nevertheless, the Court partially granted the petition and went beyond its original claims, effectively creating a new norm. In doing so, the Court shifted from its role as a negative legislator to a positive legislator, raising concerns over the separation of powers. The ruling carries broad constitutional and political implications, simultaneously enabling leadership regeneration while inviting suspicions of political interests. Internal divisions among the justices further reflect a lack of strong consensus. Criticism intensified after the Constitutional Court Honorary Council confirmed ethical violations in the decision-making process.

Abstract

The dissolution of political parties is a constitutional mechanism intended to uphold democracy, constitutionalism, and the principle of the rule of law. The Constitution grants the Constitutional Court the authority to decide on cases of dissolution of political parties, but the provisions of the Law on the Constitutional Court limit the right to submit petitions to the government only. This provision creates problems in practice, especially when allegations of serious violations committed by political parties that have a broad impact on the democratic system are not followed by a petition for dissolution. This study aims to examine the urgency of expanding the subject of petitioners in cases of dissolution of political parties, formulate more comprehensive criteria regarding the grounds for dissolution, and analyze the implications of this limitation on the principles of democracy in Indonesia. This study uses normative legal methods with statutory, philosophical, and sociological approaches. The results show that limiting petitioners to the government has the potential to create conflicts of interest and weaken the oversight function of political parties. Therefore, it is necessary to expand legal standing to other parties, such as election supervisory institutions and the public, and expand the grounds for dissolution to include serious violations of democracy and election law, in order to strengthen political party accountability and consolidate constitutional democracy in Indonesia
