Police fire tear gas and water cannon to disperse thousands of protesters who attempted to storm parliament.

The unrest forced the legislature to delay a vote on controversial changes to election laws that could further enhance the political influence of outgoing President Joko Widodo .

The Constitutional Court on Tuesday dismissed a challenge to an age limit that prevents people under 30 from running for regional governorships.

The legislature was forced to delay passing the law after failing to achieve a quorum.
