The 2024 Indonesian local election law protests, also known as Emergency Alert for Indonesia (Indonesian: Peringatan Darurat Indonesia) or Indonesian Democratic Emergency (Indonesian: Indonesia Darurat Demokrasi),[25] are ongoing public and student-led demonstrations against the House of Representatives for drafting a bill on regional head elections (Pilkada) that contradicts the Constitutional Court's ruling and power, intended to regulate the 2024 Indonesian local elections.

The hashtags #KawalPutusanMK or #KawalKeputusanMK (Escort MK's Decision), #TolakPolitikDinasti (Reject Political Dynasty), and #TolakPilkadaAkal2an (Reject Manipulated Local Elections) became widely popular on social media. This online movement culminated in nationwide demonstrations on 22 August 2024, as people took to the streets to express their discontent.[26]
Background
editLaws of Indonesia and Indonesian Election Laws
editMajor Indonesian rules come in different forms and follow a certain hierarchy as defined by Act No. 12 of 2011 (amended several times most recently with Act No. 13 of 2022). The power of each types of rules is in accordance with the hierarchy, and sitting at the top of the hierarchy is the Indonesian Constitution. While there exists other forms of rules beyond the ones in the hierarchy, such rules only have the force of binding if it is ordered by higher rules or established by an authority granted by other rules.[a] One type of major rules is Acts and one type of other rules is General Elections Commission Rules (Peraturan KPU).
Since 2017, elections for public offices in Indonesia are regulated by two separate Acts, both of which are continuously amended: Act No. 7 of 2017 (amended with Government Regulation in-lieu-of Act No. 1 of 2022, as ratified by Act No. 7 of 2023), known as General Election Law,[28] for the presidential and legislative elections (DPR, DPD, and DPRD); and Act No. 1 of 2015 (amended with Act No. 10 of 2016), known as Local Election Law,[29] for the regional heads (governors, mayors, and regents). Further provisions to implement the Acts are governed through various forms of rules, notably through General Election Commission Rules.
One way to amend rules in Indonesia is through a Supreme Court or Constitutional Court ruling. The Constitutional Court has the authority to test whether an Act violates the Indonesian Constitution, while the authority to test whether any forms of rules under Acts violate certain Acts is granted to the Supreme Court.[b]
October 2023 Constitutional Court ruling
editOn 16 October 2023, in response to the case number 90/PUU-XXI/2023 filed by a student and a self-acclaimed fan of Gibran Rakabuming Raka (President Joko Widodo's son) named Almas Tsaqibbirru, the Constitutional Court amended the General Election Law (Act No. 7 of 2017) to allow people under the minimum age of 40 years old to stand for the presidency or vice-presidency as long as they are currently or have previously held a public office that is elected through elections, including regional head elections. This allowed the 36-year-old Gibran, who at the time was the Mayor of Surakarta, to take part in the 2024 presidential election as a vice presidential candidate just 3 days before the registration period started.[30] The ruling attracted criticism because the then Chief Justice Anwar Usman is President Widodo's brother-in-law and Gibran's uncle.[31]
On November 2023, The Constitutional Court Ethics Council (MKMK) ruled that Anwar Usman had committed serious ethical violations during his handling of the October 2023 case. Due to his actions, the court ordered his removal from the Chief Justice position. However, the court rejected the request to carry out an assessment on, cancel, correct, or review the controversial ruling.[32]
Gibran himself later became the running-mate of Defence Minister Prabowo Subianto and together they won the 2024 election becoming the president and vide president-elect.[33]
May 2024 Supreme Court ruling
editOn May 29 2024, responding to the petition number 23 P/HUM/2024 from the Garuda Party, the Supreme Court decided to amend Article 4 Section 1 of the General Elections Commission Rules (PKPU) No. 9 of 2020 on the Nominations for the Election of Governor and Deputy Governor, Regent and Deputy Regent and/or Mayor and Deputy mayor. The court stated that the provision is not in accordance with the Local Election Law (Act No. 1 of 2015) as revised by Act No. 10 of 2016, and changed the age requirement for governor and vice governor candidates from 30 years old calculated during the determination of the candidate pair to 30 years old calculated during the inauguration. This ruling once again benefitted President Widodo's son, this time Kaesang Pangarep. Before the ruling, Kaesang was unqualified for the governorship or vice-governorship as he would still be 29 year old on September 22, the candidate pair determination date, and will only turn 30 on December 25. Thus, moving the calculation to the inauguration date will allow him to reach 30 before the calculation date and make him qualified for the registration.[34][35]
August 2024 Constitutional Court rulings and the Local election law revision controversy
editOn August 20 2024, the Constitutional Court read their decisions on several cases, two of which are cases number 60/PUU-XXII/2024 and 70/PUU-XXII/2024.
The Constitutional Court's position is the ultimate arbiter of a regulation's conflict with the Basic Law.[36] The House of Representatives (DPR) refused to implement the Constitutional Court's decision by stipulating that the age limit for regional head candidates would only take effect after the inauguration of the 2024 election winners, in accordance with the May 2024 Supreme Court's decision on case No. 23 P/HUM/2024. This interpretation contradicts the Constitutional Court's decision on case No. 70/PUU-XXII/2024, which stipulates that the age limit for regional head candidates takes effect at the time of determining the candidates.[37]
The House of Representatives also only partially followed the Constitutional Court's decision on case number 60/PUU-XXII/2024 regarding the removal of the party seat requirement in the Regional House of Representatives to nominate regional head candidates. The drafted Rancangan Undang-Undang (RUU) PIlkada (Regional Head Election Bill) only applies the removal to parties that did not have seats.[38] On the other hand, the DPR immediately approved when General Elections Commission implemented the October 2023 Constitutional Court's decision on case number 90/PUU-XXI/2023 into KPU regulations related to relaxing the age requirements in the 2024 Indonesian presidential election.[39]
This action was then formulated into the Regional Head Election Bill in a relatively short period of time.[40] The proposal is widely considered to only benefit certain candidates who are related to the Widodo family,[41] perceived as the shift of Indonesian democracy into a state of "monarchy" and nepotism.[42] The buzz around this topic caused the hashtag #KawalPutusanMK and Indonesia Emergency Alert to emerge as one of the trending topics on social media X.[43]
Party reactions
editIndonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) was the only faction to openly oppose this move by the Badan Legislasi (Baleg) of DPR (Legislation Committee of the House of Representatives). PDI-P has attempted to stop the bill by rejecting its proposal during the Legislation Committee meeting and being absent for the plenary meeting so that the meeting did not meet the quorum. The meeting to pass the Regional Head Election Bill would then be postponed, and ultimately cancelled.[44]
Meanwhile, National Awakening Party (PKB) exhibited ambiguity regarding the Regional Head Election Bill. This was evident from a statement by Muhaimin Iskandar, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, who claimed to be unaware of the agenda for drafting the bill.[45] Additionally, Luqman Hakim from the PKB faction did not attend the plenary session.[46] However, despite these mixed signals, the PKB faction, in general, supported the bill.[47]
Gelora Party has also taken an ambiguous stance on this issue. Although initially favorable towards the bill, the party's position became uncertain after Fahri Hamzah, a prominent party figure, expressed his disappointment with the Constitutional Court's decision, which he believed went against the party's demands. Gelora Party considered suing the Constitutional Court, aiming to secure the right for parties without seats in the House of Representatives to nominate their own regional leaders.[48]
Kaesang and Erina's lifestyle
editAlthough not directly related, Kaesang Pangarep and his wife, Erina Gudono, drew condemnation from Indonesian netizens because of their luxury travels at the time when the demonstrations occurred.[49] Kaesang and his wife allegedly took the luxury private jet Gulfstream G650 from Jakarta to Los Angeles for holiday before taking Erina to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for her Master's studies.[50] Erina also shared Instagram stories of her luxury travels in the United States, which included the purchase of a lobster roll that cost an estimated Rp400,000.[51] These raised the ire of netizens,[49] leading to Erina being compared with Marie Antoinette.[52] With many netizens requoting her words of "let them eat cake!"[53][54] Indonesian netizens proceeded to send mass emails to the University of Pennsylvania, imploring them to revoke Erina's partial scholarship.[55] Indonesian netizens were then quick to find out where the two were staying in the United States after another two portraits taken by Erina Gudono were found to closely match the interiors of the Four Seasons Hotel at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas and the Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Los Angeles before heading to "Philly."[56] With the cheapest room at Mandalay Bay costing Rp29.96 million per night and at Beverly Wilshire around Rp16 million per night, Suara estimated that just the amount spent on one night at Beverly Wilshire could have been enough to pay the salaries of at least 40 honorary teachers in Indonesia.[57] Erina herself was once considered as a candidate to be the Regent of Sleman.[58]
A video surfaced showing Kaesang and Erina disembarking from a private jet in Surakarta, confirmed the type of aircraft they were using being a Gulfstream G650. The footage also captured the group moving a large number of shopping items from the United States and loading them into a Toyota Alphard that had been parked on the apron. The video sparked outrage among netizens, who were angered by the fact that the items seemed to bypass inspection, immigration, and customs procedures. Nirwala Dwi Heriyanto, the Director of Communication and User Guidance of Customs Services at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (Bea Cukai), stated that all items must undergo customs checks, with no exemptions for private planes except on domestic flights. He also mentioned that an investigation into the matter was underway.[59][60][61] In response to the criticisms from netizens regarding the flight, Silfester Matutina, Deputy General Manager of the Prabowo-Gibran National Campaign Team, defended Kaesang's use of the private jet by stating that "Many people also use private jets."[62]
Indonesian emergency warning
edit‘Peringatan Darurat’ (English: Emergency Alert) is an internet meme that became the impetus for the Regional Head Election Bill rally on 22 August 2024. This phenomenon is in the form of uploaded images, screenshots, and short videos with a dark blue background with the Garuda Pancasila symbol and white emergency warning text, which resembles Emergency Alert Systems used in several countries. The meme became known as the Blue Garuda. The image comes from the short film with the analog horror genre entitled ‘EAS Indonesia Concept (24/10/1991), ANM-021 (Mesem) - First Encounter’ uploaded by the EAS Indonesia Concept YouTube channel.[63][64] The short film features an air raid siren and a jingle taken from a 1970s Soviet Georgian television as its signature sound effect.
This phenomenon was initiated by the upload of the meme on X by the @BudiBukanIntel account on Wednesday (21/08) at 08.12 WIB.[65][66] This post was a response to the post by the @PJalawira account as a joke, to an image with the hypothetical story of the occupation of government offices by the military due to an "ongoing constitutional crisis". This discussion occurred during the Legislation Committee meeting which was discussing the Regional Head Election Bill, considered to be a violation of the constitution.[64] Subsequently, this ‘emergency warning’ image was widely used by social media users as a symbol of protest against the DPR for violating the constitution. Public figures such as Najwa Shihab, Bivitri Susanti , Joko Anwar, and Pandji Pragiwaksono also shared the ‘emergency alert’ image on various social media channels. Community accounts, NGOs, campuses, and mass group accounts also used this image to gather, consolidate, and provide support for protests on the ground.[67][68][69][70] Garuda Biru's post was later amplified by artists by releasing graphic art with a dark blue background.[71][72] Garuda Biru was also used by musicians when they performed on stage at various music festivals, such as Hindia, Kunto Aji, Danilla Riyadi, BAALE, Reality Club, Feel Koplo, as well as Juicy Luicy, and Adrian Khalif.[73][74][75]
Issues
editIn general, the main issue raised during the demonstrations is were criticisms of the DPR regarding the plan to ratify the new Local Elections Bill, because it defies the Constitutional Court's decision. However, other issues were also raised, varying at each demonstration points and location, such as:
- Asking Joko Widodo to not interfere in the 2024 Indonesian local elections
- Rejecting the return of TNI/Polri dual function in the civilian government
- Ratify the Asset Confiscation Bill
- Ratify the Indigenous People's Bill
- Repeal the People's House Saving Law (Act No. 4 of 2016, i.e. UU TAPERA)
- Revoking and revising Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology Rule No.2 of 2024
- Resolving cases of gross human rights violations
- Investigating cases of police repressive action[76]
- Repeal the Omnibus Law on Job Creation (Government Regulation in-lieu-of Act No. 2 of 2022, as ratified by Act No. 6 of 2023)
- Reevaluate poverty figures
- Rejecting commercialization of universities

These protests were mostly initiated by university students in their respective provinces, with the protests turning violent and several protests ending up with students occupying local government buildings.
Police brutality
editThe police were widely criticised for excessive actions in dealing with protesters, including beatings, the use of tear gas and water cannons, to even kidnappings.[157][158] One of them was the police brutality against protesters in Palu, where a student suffered a torn ear.[11] A total of 20 people were named as suspects in the vandalism of the DPR RI building fence.[159] On the other hand, a number of parties such as Haidar Alwi from the Haidar Alwi Institute appreciated the security measures taken during the demonstration,[160] where he is known as a Jokowi loyalist and pro-government.[161]

Whilst also receiving information that hundreds of demonstrators were arrested while on route to the location of the demonstration. The organization has long since advocated for the protestors and urged Indonesian Police to stop committing violence.[162]
Impact
editPolitical
editProsperous Justice Party (PKS) reversed its position on the bill and instead supported its cancellation "in accordance to the people's voice and demands".[163] Similarly, PKB issued a statement of gratitude for the cancellation of the bill, signalling that people's aspirations are still being heard.[164] Democratic Party published a press release on behalf of the party's faction in DPR, stating it would not proceed with the bill.[165] Sufmi Dasco from Gerindra Party stated that the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK) will still be implemented, but the drafted Regional Head Election Bill can be implemented in the next election period.
Former Ministry of Law and Human Rights Hamid Awaludin reported Prabowo Subianto's anger on the sudden maneuvers to change the local election law.[166] Gerindra indirectly either denied or confirm that Prabowo was very furious,[167] but then announced that Prabowo wants to prioritize democracy and obeying laws and regulations.[168]
With the Constitutional Court's ruling upheld, regional parliament threshold of 20% in the 2024 Indonesian local elections has been nullified and more parties are able to field their own candidate pairings in the election.[169] In the roundup of the election candidacies, the Advanced Indonesia Coalition had managed to assemble a grand coalition supporting candidates such as in Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, East Java, and North Sumatra, along with several cities and regencies across Indonesia and Gerindra politician Ahmad Muzani opened up that there are indications that parties will abandon the coalition in favor of their own candidates.[169] PKB chairman Muhaimin Iskandar states that his party will not always be endorsing candidates from the Advanced Indonesia Coalition.[170] The ruling also opens up PDI-P chances to nominate their own candidates albeit in a lower treshold[171] and potentially breaking the coalition up in some parts of Indonesia.[169] According to Aditya Permana of the Algoritma Research and Consulting, this ruling aims to widen the candidate field and to minimize the possibility to run against an empty ballot box.[169]
On 24 August 2024, Gerindra announced that they will recommend Vice Governor Taj Yasin Maimoen to stand for reelection as Ahmad Luthfi's running mate instead of Kaesang Pangarep.[172] Kaesang was reportedly gearing up to run as Ahmad Luthfi's partner in the 2024 Central Java gubernatorial election a few days before the protests occured.[173] Even after the protests has begun and the House of Representatives reversed the bill, the lawyer in Jakarta High Court states that Kaesang has prepared 3 documents required for him to stand as a candidate, which are a certificate stating that he had never been a defendant, a certificate stating that his voting rights on the voters list had not been revoked and a certificate stating that he had no debts, which gave skepticisms on whether or not the House of Representatives is really serious on repealing their draft bill on local elections.[174] Kaesang later suspended his preparations according to the PSI administration team.[175] PSI further backpedaled by stating that Kaesang had no interest in running in the 2024 Pilkada since the beginning and that he "preferred to concentrate on business and taking care of his family."[176]
Individually, politician Wanda Hamidah announced her resignation from Golkar. She stated that the decision was taken because she "does not want to be on the wrong side of history" and that she loves her country "too much".[177]
Economic
editAs protests took place, the IDX Composite (IHSG) fell to 7,497.[178] The rupiah currency weakened to 15,615.00 IDR per 1 United States dollar (USD),[179] and exchange rate into the euro currency spiked to 17,460.00 IDR per 1 euro (EUR).[citation needed] Chairman of the Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association, Hariyadi B Sukamdani, is more concerned about the cause of this action. He feels that political intervention in the legal sphere can have an impact on legal certainty issues that can trigger greater effects if not handled properly and neutrally.[180]
Reactions
editDomestic reactions
editExecutive government
editJokowi was criticized for making a statement that this was only part of the "checks and balances" function of the Constitutional Court and the House of Representatives, even though the position of the Constitutional Court's decision is final and binding, and is considered the highest in testing between laws and the Constitution. Thus, it is unconstitutional for the House of Representatives to create a new bill to circumvent the decision.[181][182][183] On 22 August 2024, at 17:44, a new statement was then made by the head of the Presidential Communication Office, Hasan Nasbi, that the government has complied with the Constitutional Court's decision.[184] Meanwhile, the Minister of Home Affairs stated that he was still waiting for the discussion of the Regional Head Election Bill by the Legislation Committee.[185]
On 23 August 2024, Jokowi in reaction to the wave of protest demanding the government to upheld the Constitutional Court's ruling told the media that he will not issue a government regulations in-lieu-of Acts (Perppu) regarding to local elections after the House of Representatives decided not to ratify the drafted bill and praised the protesters for delivering their aspirations.[186] However, he refused to comment on the failure to pass the bill into law because the quorum is not present, stating that it was the legislative branch's area to respond.[186]
Legislative
editSpeaker of the House of Representatives Puan Maharani thanked the demonstrators for their aspirations on the issue and asked the demonstrators to work together to keep the House of Representatives accountable for their acts.[187] Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Sufmi Dasco Ahmad who preside the meeting session on the bill states that the drafted bill will not pass and the registration for the election will be done based on the Constitutional Court's ruling.[188] Member of Regional Representative Council from Central Kalimantan Agustin Teras Nanang praised the Constitutional Court's ruling, stating that the ruling could reduce the arrogance of political parties in gathering the people's aspiration as well as reducing the high political cost that may have to be incurred by candidates during the election.[189]
However, due to Kaesang's reportedly preparing documents required to stand as a candidate and public distrust of the House of Representatives, skepticism arises on whether the House of Representatives is truly serious in repealing the drafted bill.[174] Herdiansyah Hamzah of the Constitutional and Administrative Law Society (CALS) state that the protesters must continue to voice their aspirations as he believed that the failure is a way to 'test the waters' and when public pressure waned, the House of Representatives could try again and make sure the bill will pass into law.[186]
General Election Commission
editThe General Elections Commission (KPU) stated that it would still follow the Constitutional Court's decision, but after consulting with the DPR, regarding the rules that had changed because previously it referred to the interpretation of the Supreme Court.[190] On 24 August 2024, a draft of the KPU decision was circulated referring to the MK decision. The KPU confirmed that the information was correct.[191]
Social media
editCelebrity businessman Raffi Ahmad posted his political stance in Instagram in favor of the Constitutional Court ruling, much to the criticism and boycott threats from the protesters.[192] The boycott threats was in relation to his support to Prabowo Subianto 2024 presidential campaign and he together with Nagita Slavina was slammed by social media users as being "bought" by the government.[193] Other pro-Prabowo celebrity supporters such as Gading Marten, Atta Halilintar, Kiky Saputri and others were also targeted in the boycott.[194][195] In response to these boycott calls, Pandji Pragiwaksono asked the public to not polarize the issue and embrace those who wish to join despite coming from a different political side.[195]

editReuters covered the protests with the headline "Protests across Indonesia as parliament delays changes to election law",[196] highlighting the dismissive attitude by Jokowi who stated that the role of the Constitutional Court and the House of Representatives in this event was part of "checks and balances". A similar negative highlight was given by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in a story titled "Election law changes spark mass protests in Indonesia".[197] The BBC reported that the revision of the law was an attempt to scuttle Anies Baswedan, as well as pave the way for Kaesang, who does not meet the minimum age requirement for elections.
South Korea's national media, Yonhap, reported a similar story, suggesting that the DPR's action was aimed at smoothing Kaesang's path in the 2024 Regional Head Election.[198] Meanwhile, Channel News Asia published a story titled "Thousands protest Indonesian parliament's move to subvert court ruling, pave way for Jokowi's son to contest in local elections", which highlighted Jokowi's tendency to pave the way for his children after Gibran was also allowed to run in the presidential election after the Constitutional Court, under the leadership of his brother-in-law, Anwar Usman, changed the rules regarding the age limit.[199]
Malaysian media The Star reported that the demonstrations disrupted the Indonesian economy.[200] Voice of America reported that the influence of this demonstration had spread to various cities in Indonesia.[201] Aljazeera highlighted the strangeness of the sudden ratification process of the bill and it appeared to smoothen Jokowi's steps in building dynastic politics.[202]
Individuals
editInternational journalist Mario Nawfal in Twitter tweeted his own recap on the several publications from foreign news source regarding the protests. He stated that this demonstration occurred because the DPR gave Kaesang the opportunity to take part in the regional elections by circumventing the age limit.[203]
South Korean musician Jae Park gave his support to the protesters. He said he is aware his stances can affect his chances to perform in a concert at Indonesia but he can't be silent witnessing what has transpired.[204]
Criticism
editAsset Confiscation Bill
editSeveral social media accounts criticized the demonstration because it did not involve demands for the acceleration of the ratification of the Asset Confiscation Bill.[205] In several regional demonstrations, such demands had actually been made, such as those in Palangka Raya,[206] Kediri,[207] Subang,[208] Padang,[209] Buleleng,[210] and Balikpapan.[211] However, Tempo's Fact Check site also stated that this criticism was misleading because this issue was actually part of the demands of the demonstration, including those in Jakarta.[212]
