%T Representation And Capabilities of Non Muslim Chinese Women As Regional Heads in Singkawang City A Siyasah Dusturiyyah Analysis
%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.
