The2024 Central Sulawesi gubernatorial election was held on 27 November 2024 as part ofnationwide local elections to elect the governor ofCentral Sulawesi for a five-year term. The previous election was held in 2020. The election was won by formerHouse of Representatives Member Anwar Hafid of theDemocratic Party with 45% of the vote. The runner up,Ahmad Ali of theNasDem Party, received 38%. Incumbent GovernorRusdy Mastura lost re-election, placing third with 16% of the vote.
The election, like other local elections in 2024, follow thefirst-past-the-post system where the candidate with the most votes wins the election, even if they do not win a majority.[1] It is possible for a candidate to rununcontested, in which case the candidate is still required to win a majority of votes "against" an "empty box" option. Should the candidate fail to do so, the election will be repeated on a later date.[2]
According to electoral regulations, in order to qualify for the election, candidates were required to secure support from a political party or a coalition of parties controlling 11 seats (20 percent of all seats) in the Central SulawesiRegional House of Representatives (DPRD). As no parties won 11 or more seats in the2024 legislative election, parties are required to form coalitions to nominate a candidate.[3][4] However, following aConstitutional 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 anindependent in form of photocopies ofidentity cards, which in Central Sulawesi's case corresponds to 190,120 copies. No independent candidates registered with theGeneral Elections Commission (KPU) prior to the set deadline.[6]
