The 2020 Makassar mayoral election was held on 9 December 2020, as part of the 2020 simultaneous local elections in Indonesia. It is a repeat of the previous election held in 2018, an uncontested election where the none of the above option won a majority. The 2020 election saw the previous incumbent mayor, Mohammad Ramdhan Pomanto, the 2018 single candidate Munafri Arifuddin, run as mayor along with former deputy mayor Syamsu Rizal and former East Luwu regent Irman Yasin Limpo. Pomanto managed to beat the other three candidates to secure a second term after winning 41.3 percent of votes.

## Background

[edit]

Main article: 2018 Makassar mayoral election

The 2018 mayoral elections in Makassar were initially slated to pit incumbent Mohammad Ramdhan Pomanto against challenger Munafri Arifuddin, however, following a court ruling, Pomanto was disqualified, due to alleged abuse of office to benefit in the election.[3][4] Despite this, Arifuddin was still required to gain a majority of the votes, with a none of the above option being available in the ballot, and he ended up losing to said option by a margin of some 36,000 votes, the first case of a NOTA victory in Indonesian electoral history.[5] The election was hence repeated, with registration for candidates being reopened and the election being held as part of the 2020 simultaneous local elections. Both Pomanto and Arifuddin were permitted to run as candidates as well.[6]
