History
[edit]Historically, the first governor of West Java was held by Sutardjo Kertohadikusumo who came from Central Java.[3] 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.[4] At that time, Oja served as Chairman of the West Java Transitional Regional People's Representative Council.
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.[5]
