A dispute over which federal agency has the authority to make political legislation sparked the protests.
The legislature intended to accept the law’s changes on Thursday that would have reversed earlier this week’s constitutional court ruling.
After first putting off its plan due to the outcry, Parliament publicly delayed it on Thursday, saying its plenary session did not meet the vote.
The third-largest democracy in the world is enraged by the court’s and parliament’s power struggles, with Jokowi receiving increasingly negative feedback from researchers about his proposed resumption of strength before he steps down in October.
Jokowi, who has served the greatest two words, will be replaced by president-elect Prabowo Subianto and vice-president-elect Gibran Rakabuming Raka, Jokowi’s eldest brother, on Oct 20.
