Abstract
In this article, the researchers examine the legal protection of the political rights of persons with disabilities to become members of the House of Representatives in Kenya and Indonesia using a statute approach and a comparative law approach. This study aims to find a good and responsive form of legal protection to fulfil and enforce the political rights of persons with disabilities to be elected as candidates for members of the House of Representatives by comparing the Constitution and the General Election Law in force in Kenya and Indonesia. The statutory regulations as the objects of this study are the Constitution of Kenya of 2010, the Election Act of Kenya No. 24 of 2011, the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, and the Law of Republic of Indonesia No. 7 of 2017 about the General Election. This comparison allows the researchers to implement a legal construction of the Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 7 of 2017 on the General Election. This can provide legal certainty and justice for the fulfilment and enforcement of political rights for persons with disabilities to be elected as candidates for members of the Indonesian Parliament or the House of Representatives (Provincial or Regional/City) in a democratic and just General Election.
