2026: education records and eligibility challenged in court

Civil / administrative proceedings

Indonesia’s Constitutional Court said on October 6 that the record lacked convincing foreign diploma evidence supporting the required high-school equivalency. It rejected the petition for lack of standing and held it could not unseat the vice president through that challenge. Lawmakers discussed a possible inquiry on November 10.

State of the evidence: The court documented an evidentiary gap but did not establish fraud.
Legal status — source text: Petition dismissed for lack of standing on October 6; any parliamentary review remains undecided.
Attribution: Disputed eligibility and school-equivalency evidence.
