Earlier, Tjahjanto served as agrarian affairs and spatial planning minister, while the coordinating minister for political, legal, and security affairs office was held by Home Affairs Minister Tito Karnavian who served as an acting minister.
Tjahjanto was the commander of the Indonesian Defense Forces (TNI) for the 2017-2021 period before being appointed to the agrarian affairs and spatial planning minister's office in June 2022.
Meanwhile, AHY, who is the first son of Indonesia's Sixth President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, started his career in the military by joining the Military Academy in 1997.
He graduated in 2000 as the best graduate and was awarded the prestigious Adhi Makayasa award.
During his military duty, AHY pursued higher education and obtained three master's degrees, namely from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, in 2006; Harvard University, the United States, in 2010; and Webster University, the United States, in 2015.
AHY decided to resign from the TNI at the end of 2016 to enter the world of politics, following in his father's footsteps.
He then became a candidate for the 2017 Jakarta gubernatorial race, with support from the Democratic Party, National Awakening Party (PKB), National Mandate Party (PAN), and United Development Party (PPP).
On March 15, 2020, AHY was appointed as general chairperson of the Democratic Party for the 2020-2025 period.
