This is a list of vice presidents of Indonesia. The Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia (Indonesian: Wakil Presiden Republik Indonesia) is the second-highest officer in the executive branch of the Indonesian government, after the president, and ranks first in the presidential line of succession. Since 2004, the president and vice president are directly elected to a five-year term.

The vice presidency was established during the formulation of the 1945 Constitution by the Investigating Committee for Preparatory Work for Independence (BPUPK), a research body for the preparation of Indonesian independence. On 18 August 1945, the Preparatory Committee for Indonesian Independence (PPKI), which was created on 7 August to replace the BPUPK, selected Sukarno as the country's first president and Mohammad Hatta as vice president.[1]

Notes[]

  1. ^ Hatta was detained by Dutch troops on 19 December 1948 during the Operation Kraai. During this time, the Emergency Government of the Republic of Indonesia, led by Sjafruddin Prawiranegara, acted as the country's government-in-exile until 13 July 1949 (206 days). Hatta became Prime Minister of the United States of Indonesia instead of the Vice President between 27 December 1949 and 15 August 1950 (231 days). As a result, Hatta's term in office actually had 437 days less.
  2. ^ Resigned from office
  3. ^ Each of Jusuf Kalla's two non-consecutive terms in office was 1,826 days long.
  4. ^ Umar Wirahadikusumah's term had 2 leap days instead of one.
  5. ^ The 1983 inauguration day was moved from 23 March to 11 March, 12 days shorter than a normal term.
  6. ^ Elected by the MPR to fill an intra-term vacancy in the vice presidency.
  7. ^ As of 17 September 2021
  8. ^ Jump up to: a b Succeeded to presidency.

Footnotes[]

  • A Hatta announced his resignation from office on 26 July 1956, effective on 1 December 1956 and legitimized retroactively on 5 February 1957.[6]
  • B President Sukarno did not name Hatta's successor as Vice President. In December 1965, there were calls for a Vice President to be named to assist Sukarno with the fallout of the 30 September Movement and General Suharto's attempts to take over the government.[7] It was not until the New Order regime of President Suharto that the Vice President post became filled again.
  • C Vice President Hamengkubuwono IX rejected his nomination for Vice President by the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) in March 1978, due to poor health.[8]
  • D Following the 1997 Asian financial crisis, there were calls for Suharto's resignation as president. On 21 May 1998, Suharto resigned from office. Habibie became his successor as the President of Indonesia.[9]
  • E After Abdurrahman Wahid was impeached by the MPR, Vice President Megawati replaced him as President of Indonesia.[10]
