History

edit

Historically, the first Governor of West Java was held by Sutardjo Kertohadikusumo who came from Central Java.[1] In the midst of the revolution, Sutardjo was replaced by Mohammad Djamin. Dualism of leadership also occurred during the reign of Ipik Gandamana, where Oja Somantri was elected and appointed as Kepala Daerah Swatantra Tingkat I in early January 1958.[2] At that time, Oja served as Chairman of the West Java Transitional Regional People's Representative Council.

Election

edit

In April 2008, West Java held its first ever election to choose a governor, whereas previously the governors were elected by members of DPRD. The poll is part of a country-wide decentralisation drive, allowing for direct local elections in several areas. Elections for governor and deputy governor are held for a fixed five-year term.

List

edit

Although not consecutively, the Governor of West Java was always appointed to the position of Minister of Home Affairs of Indonesia during the Old Order to New Order. The following is a definitive list of Governors of West Java since 1945.[3]
