4. Jusuf Kalla
Muhammad Jusuf Kalla
(born 15 May 1942) is an Indonesian politician who was the 10th
Vice President of Indonesia
from 2004 to 2009 and Chairman of the Golkar
Party during the same period. He was unsuccessful as Golkar's presidential
candidate in the Indonesian presidential election,
2009.
Since 2009 Kalla has served as the Chairman of the Indonesian Red Cross Society.
Before Kalla declared himself as the running mate for Joko Widodo
in the upcoming Indonesian presidential election,
2014,
a 2012 poll place his popularity among likely voters in the top three
contenders for the presidency and ahead of his own party's nominee Aburizal Bakrie.
Kalla returned to active politics in 1987 when he
was appointed to the People's Consultative Assembly
(MPR) as a regional representative for South Sulawesi. He was re-appointed to
the MPR in 1992, 1997, and 1999. When Kyai Haji Abdurrahman Wahid
(often known as Gus Dur) was elected as president by the MPR in 1999,
Kalla was included in the cabinet and became minister of Industry and Trade. He
had only been a minister for six months when in April 2000 Wahid removed him
along with minister of State Owned Enterprises. Wahid accused both Kalla and
minister Laksamana of corruption although he never produced evidence to support
the charge.
Now a popular figure for assisting with the peace
process in Sulawesi, Kalla considered putting himself forward as a candidate in
the 2004 presidential elections. In August 2003 he announced his candidacy and
enlisted as a participant in Golkar's 2004 Convention which would chose the
Golkar candidate for president. As the months went by however, Kalla became to
be seen more as a vice presidential candidate. He was expected to partner a
Javanese presidential candidate and his non-Javanese background was seen as a
means of attracting non-Javanese votes which Javanese candidate might have trouble
getting.
On 5 July 2004 the presidential election was held.
Yudhoyono and Kalla won the popular vote with 33% of the votes but 50% of votes
is required for the election as president and vice president so a run-off was
required. Yudhoyono and Megawati proceeded to the second election round held
later in the year. And on 20 September 2004 Yudhoyono and Kalla won the run-off
with 60.1% of the vote, they won of Megawati.
In 2014 he became a partner of
Jokowi in Indonesian
presidential election.
Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP)’s presidential candidate Joko
Widodo has announced Jusuf Kalla as his vice presidential running mate at
Gedung Juang, Jakarta, on May 19th, 2014.
