Aceh Legislative Candidates to Be Quizzed On Koran
Nurdin Hasan | April 23, 2013




Banda Aceh. All candidates contesting next year’s legislative elections in Aceh 
will be required to take a Koran proficiency test, a member of the province’s 
electoral body said on Tuesday.

“It is stipulated in a qanun [Islamic bylaw] that every candidate running in 
Aceh must be able to recite the Koran. This has been the case since Aceh 
implemented Shariah law in 2011,” Akmal Abzal, an official with the Independent 
Election Commission (KIP), told the Jakarta Globe. 

He said that contenders at all levels will be tested on their knowledge, 
pronunciation and recitation of the Muslim holy book. A team of Koran 
recitalists will judge who is eligible to run.

“If the candidate scores higher than a 50, he will be able to run for office,” 
Akmal explained. “However, if he scores below a 50, he will be ousted.”

He stated that Aceh Governor Zaini Abdullah ordered district heads and mayors 
in the province to prepare the budget for the proceedings.

“The money will be used to pay the jury, as well as other needs,” he said. 
“Every region will be given between Rp 20 million and Rp 40 million.”

Several political parties in Aceh, including the Aceh Peace Party (PDA), the 
Aceh National Party (PNA) and the Aceh Party (PA), already conduct internal 
Koran proficiency exams before registering their candidates.

PDA Secretary Khaidir Rizal said that all candidates from his party are able to 
recite the Koran since all of them are ulema and graduates of Islamic boarding 
schools.

Irwansyah, the chairman of the PNA, revealed that his party’s candidates were 
already tested by the best Koran recitalists.
