2024 West Java gubernatorial election

The election, originally scheduled for 2023, was postponed for one years following a 2016 ruling by the General Elections Commission that all 2024 regional elections are to be held on the same day.{{Cite web |last=Subarkah |first=Tri |date=1 March 2024 |title=KPU Tunduk pada UU Pilkada soal Jadwal Pilkada 2024 |trans-title=KPU Complies with Regional Election Law on 2024 Regional Election Schedule |url=https://mediaindonesia.com/politik-dan-hukum/655777/kpu-tunduk-pada-uu-pilkada-soal-jadwal-pilkada-2024 |access-date=27 November 2024 |website=Media Indonesia |language=id}} As a result, when the then-elected governor of West Java, Ridwan Kamil, completed his term on 5 September 2023, Bey Machmudin was appointed acting governor.

The election, like other local elections in 2024, follow the first-past-the-post system where the candidate with the most votes wins the election, even if they do not win a majority.{{cite news |title=Pilkada Hanya Satu Putaran |url=https://kedaikopi.co/infografik/pilkada-hanya-satu-putaran/ |access-date=20 May 2024 |work=kedaikopi.co |date=22 July 2020 |language=id}} It is possible for a candidate to run uncontested, 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.{{cite news |last1=Mardika |first1=Nando Yussele |title=Jika Kotak Kosong Menang, Pilkada Akan Diulang? |url=https://www.hukumonline.com/klinik/a/jika-kotak-kosong-menang-pilkada-akan-diulang--lt5fa3d3b3f2139/ |access-date=16 April 2024 |work=hukumonline.com |date=5 November 2020 |language=id}}

According to electoral regulations, in order to qualify for the election, candidates were required to secure support from 24 seats in the West Java Regional House of Representatives (DPRD). As none of the parties won 24 or more seats in the 2024 election, coalitions of multiple parties are required to nominate a candidate.{{cite news |title=Menakar Pilgub Jabar, Ini Skenario Prediksi IPRC |url=https://www.rri.co.id/pilkada-2024/688253/menakar-pilgub-jabar-ini-skenario-prediksi-iprc |access-date=17 May 2024 |work=Radio Republik Indonesia |date=13 May 2024 |language=id}}{{cite news |title=Magnet Ridwan Kamil dan Perebutan Kursi Jabar Satu |url=https://www.kompas.id/baca/nusantara/2024/05/06/magnet-ridwan-kamil-dan-perebutan-kursi-jabar-satu |access-date=17 May 2024 |work=Kompas |date=6 May 2024 |language=id}} Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in West Java's case corresponds to 2.32 million copies.

However, on 20 August 2024 the Constitutional Court of Indonesia issued ruling No. 60/PUU-XXII/2024 and MK decision No. 70/PUU-XXII/2024 which granted part of the lawsuit filed by the Labor Party and the Gelora Party against the local election law.{{Cite web|last=Budi|first=Mulia|title=MK Putuskan Parpol Bisa Usung Cagub Meski Tak Punya Kursi di DPRD|url=https://news.detik.com/pilkada/d-7498988/mk-putuskan-parpol-bisa-usung-cagub-meski-tak-punya-kursi-di-dprd|website=detiknews|language=id-ID|access-date=2024-08-20}} This decision was stated in PKPU Number 8 of 2024.{{Cite web|first=Muhammad Akmal|last=Firmansyah|title=PILGUB JABAR 2024: Pendaftaran Calon Gubernur dan Wakil Gubernur Dibuka, KIM Plus akan Kesulitan jika Diterapkan di Jawa Barat|url=https://bandungbergerak.id/article/detail/1597867/pilgub-jabar-2024-pendaftaran-calon-gubernur-dan-wakil-gubernur-dibuka-kim-plus-akan-kesulitan-jika-diterapkan-di-jawa-barat|website=Bandung Bergerak|language=id-ID|access-date=2024-08-27}} This ruling lowers the requirement to 6,5% for political parties to announce their own candidate pairings.{{Cite web|first=Binti|last=Mufarida|title=PKPU Pilkada Merujuk Putusan MK Disetujui DPR, Ini Poin-poinnya|url=https://nasional.sindonews.com/read/1442477/12/pkpu-pilkada-merujuk-putusan-mk-disetujui-dpr-ini-poin-poinnya-1724558883?showpage=all|website=Sindo News|language=id-ID|access-date=2024-08-25}} Based on this new ruling, Gerindra Party, Golkar, PDI-P, National Awakening Party, Prosperous Justice Party and the Democratic Party can name their own pairs of candidates without the need to form coalitions.

These are candidates who have been allegedly delegated by political parties endorsing for gubernatorial election:

PKB and Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle had already agreed to back Ono Surono as Governor with Acep Adang Ruhiat as his running mate on 15 August 2024.{{cite news|url=https://www.cnnindonesia.com/nasional/20240815045914-617-1133176/pdip-dan-pkb-sepakat-usung-ono-surono-acep-adang-di-pilgub-jabar-2024|title=PDIP dan PKB Sepakat Usung Ono Surono-Acep Adang di Pilgub Jabar 2024|work=CNN Indonesia}} Initially, Acep planned to run for Regent of Tasikmalaya prior to this announcement.

However with the new ruling issued by the Constitutional Court of Indonesia, PKB decided to leave the coalition agreement with PDI-P and field their own candidates with Acep running as governor and accompanied by Gitalis Dwi Natarina as his running mate.Gibran Maulana Ibrahim, 29 August 2024.

PKB and Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle had already agreed to back Ono Surono as Governor with Acep Adang Ruhiat as his running mate on 15 August 2024.

However with the new ruling issued by the Constitutional Court of Indonesia, PKB decided to leave the coalition agreement with PDI-P and field their own candidates with Acep running as governor. In reaction to this, on the night of the same day PDI-P announced that they will nominate Anies Baswedan as Governor of West Java with Ono running as Vice Governor.{{Cite news|url=https://www.metrotvnews.com/read/bJECaxZe-maju-di-pilgub-jabar-pdip-sebut-anies-otw-bandung|title=Maju di Pilgub Jabar, PDIP Sebut Anies OTW Bandung|work=Metro TV}} However, Anies through his spokesperson said he declined to run.Matius Alfons Hutajulu, 29 August 2024.

At the last registration time, PDI-P nominated Jeje Wiradinata and Ronal Surapradja as the gubernatorial and deputy gubernatorial candidates from PDI-P. Jeje and Ronal did not come directly to the KPU but only attended online via Zoom.

Golkar used the polls to justify Ridwan Kamil's candidacy in either Jakarta or West Java.
