%X The phenomenon of non-Muslim Chinese women being  elected as regional leaders in Indonesia is considered unusual,  especially when elected amid a predominantly Muslim population  and the strengthening of Islamist movements in national politics.  This article, therefore, analyses the representation and capabilities  of non-Muslim Chinese women as regional heads in Singkawang  City, Indonesia, from 2017 to 2022. In the Indonesian context,  we refer to this case as a “triple minority.” The research used a  socio-legal approach involving data condensation, data display,  and conclusion/verification stages. The findings of this study  indicate that the representation and capabilities of non-Muslim  Chinese women as regional heads in Singkawang City from 2017  to 2022 align with the principles of constitutional politics (siyasah  dusturiyah) and Indonesian laws. Non-Muslim Chinese women  elected as regional heads of Singkawang City, despite being  in a Muslim-majority environment, have succeeded in making  Singkawang City the top-ranked Tolerant City in Indonesia.
