Abstract

This article explores the participation of individual candidates in the Regional Head General Election, following the Constitutional Court’s decision Number 5/PUUV/2007, which determined that individual regional head candidates, or Independent Candidates, could take part in the Regional Head Election. The introduction of independent candidates has created significant opportunities for the public to engage directly in the election process. As a result of the Constitutional Court’s recognition of Independent Candidates, political parties are now required to acknowledge their presence. This decision offers a new prospect for Independent Candidates to enter the political arena without relying on political party support. Consequently, the inclusion of Individual Candidates in elections represents a novel development in Indonesia’s political system. This research falls under normative legal studies, employing a statutory or legislative approach. It confirms that the legal foundation for individual candidates in regional head elections is the Constitutional Court’s Decision Number 5/PUUV/2007. The success of individual candidates in these elections is closely linked to the efforts of Lalu Ranggalawe, a Central Lombok DPRD member, who initiated the judicial review at the Constitutional Court.
