The 2020 Makassar mayoral election was held on 9 December 2020, as part of the 2020 simultaneous local elections in Indonesia. It is a repeat of the previous election held in 2018, an uncontested election where the none of the above option won a majority. The 2020 election saw the previous incumbent mayor, Mohammad Ramdhan Pomanto, the 2018 single candidate Munafri Arifuddin, run as mayor along with former deputy mayor Syamsu Rizal and former East Luwu regent Irman Yasin Limpo. Pomanto managed to beat the other three candidates to secure a second term after winning 41.3 percent of votes.
The 2018 mayoral elections in Makassar were initially slated to pit incumbent Mohammad Ramdhan Pomanto against challenger Munafri Arifuddin, however, following a court ruling, Pomanto was disqualified, due to alleged abuse of office to benefit in the election.

Both Pomanto and Arifuddin were permitted to run as candidates as well. [6]
