Candidates
According to electoral regulations, in order to qualify for the election, candidates are required to secure support from a political party or a coalition of parties controlling 13 seats (20 percent of all seats) in the East Nusa Tenggara Regional House of Representatives (DPRD). [3] As no parties won 13 or more seats in the 2024 legislative election, coalitions must be formed in order to nominate a candidate. [4] However, following a Constitutional Court of Indonesia decision in August 2024, the political support required to nominate a candidate was lowered to between 6.5 and 10 percent of the popular vote. [5] Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support to run as an independent in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in East Nusa Tenggara's case corresponds to 340,721 copies. [6] No independent candidates registered with the General Elections Commission (KPU) by the set deadline. [7]
The previous governor, Viktor Laiskodat, is eligible to contest the election, but had publicly stated that he will not be seeking reelection. [8]
