Perbandingan Sistem Pemilihan Presiden Indonesia dan Turki

Abstract

Indonesia and Turkey are countries that have the same system of government, namely a presidential system of government. Even though they are the same, Indonesia and Turkey have historical differences that have an impact on the implementation of their government systems, especially in terms of holding elections. This study aims to determine the comparison of the presidential election system between Indonesia and Turkey regarding the similarities and differences of the electoral system as well as the election winning strategy of each president in the two countries. This study uses two theories, namely the theory of presidential government systems according to Jimly Ashiddiqie and the comparative government theory put forward by Mariana, Yuningsih, and Paskarina. The method used in this research is normative legal research of a qualitative nature proposed by Johnny Ibrahim using statutory and comparative approaches. The results of this research show that presidential elections in Indonesia and Turkey are carried out directly and must be carried out by political parties who have a five-year term of office with a certain minimum age requirement. Apart from that, Indonesia and Turkey have a threshold for nominating president, namely Turkey and Indonesia, of 5% versus 20% of the vote in parliament. The strategies for winning the presidential election in both countries have something in common, namely the existence of Islamic populism which contributed greatly to vote acquisition in the presidential election.
