KONTAN.CO.ID - JAKARTA. Indonesia's Constitutional Court on Monday rejected a lawsuit calling for the minimum age of presidential and vice presidential candidates to be lowered to 35, shutting down one avenue for President Joko Widodo's son to run on an election ticket next year. The court was on Monday also reading rulings on six other cases that could clear the way for the president's 36-year-old son to run for vice president. The first ruling comes amid growing criticism of what sources say are the outgoing president's efforts to build a political dynasty and retain influence after leaving office.
