Regional Head Elections (Pilkada) serve as a central mechanism for implementing local democracy in Indonesia by ensuring legitimate, just, and constitutionally accountable regional leadership. This article specifically analyzes the legal reasoning of the Constitutional Court in Decision Number 313/PHPU.BUP-XXIII/2025 regarding the dispute over the 2024 North Barito Regent and Deputy Regent Election results and examines its relevance to the principles of fiqh siyasah. Unlike previous studies that generally focused on procedural electoral disputes, this article highlights the conceptual relationship between the Constitutional Court’s substantive justice approach and the maqāṣid al-siyāsah al-shar‘iyyah framework in safeguarding democratic integrity. This research employs normative legal methods using statutory, case, and conceptual approaches. The findings demonstrate that the Constitutional Court not only evaluated formal vote-counting procedures but also emphasized substantive electoral justice by considering structured, systematic, and massive (TSM) money politics violations as a serious threat to popular sovereignty. The disqualification of candidate pairs and the order for a revote represent constitutional efforts to restore electoral fairness, protect public trust, and preserve democratic legitimacy. From the perspective of fiqh siyasah, the ruling reflects the principles of justice (‘adl), trustworthiness (amānah), and public welfare (maṣlaḥah), while simultaneously embodying the objective of preventing political harm (dar’u al-mafāsid) in the process of leadership selection. Accordingly, Constitutional Court Decision Number 313/PHPU.BUP-XXIII/2025 demonstrates not only constitutional validity but also substantive compatibility with Islamic political jurisprudence in realizing ethical governance and protecting the welfare of society within Indonesia’s democratic constitutional system.
