This is a list of Vice Presidents of Indonesia. The Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia (Wakil Presiden Republik Indonesia) is the second most powerful person in the Republic of Indonesia and first in the line of succession.

The vice presidency was established during the formulation of the 1945 constitution by the Badan Penyelidik Usaha Persiapan Kemerdekaan Indonesia (BPUPKI), a research body for the preparation of Indonesian independence. On 18 August 1945, the Panitia Persiapan Kemerdekaan Indonesia (PPKI), which was created on 7 August to replace BPUPKI, selected Sukarno as the country's first president and Mohammad Hatta as vice president.^[1]

Footnotes

• ^A  Hatta announced his resignation from the Vice Presidency on 26 July 1956, effective 1 December 1956.^[7] President Sukarno had moved the country increasingly toward autocracy and authoritarianism. Hatta, a proponent of democracy, advised President Sukarno not to take that path, but his recommendations were ignored. He decided to resign, as he believed he could not work with the president.
• ^B  President Sukarno did not name Hatta's succesor 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.^[8] 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 in March 1978, due to poor health.^[9] President Suharto believed that Hamengkubuwono IX had betrayed him by not seeking reelection.
• ^D  Following the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, there were calls for Suharto's resignation as President. In May 1998, he lost support from many of his allies, including Wiranto and Ginandjar Kartasasmita. On 21 May, Suharto formally announced his resignation from office. Habibie became his successor as the President of Indonesia.^[10]
• ^E  After Abdurrahman Wahid was impeached, Vice President Megawati was elected to replace him as President of Indonesia.^[11]
• ^F  Former security minister Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono chose Jusuf Kalla as his running mate in the July 2004 presidential election against the incumbent Megawati Sukarnoputri and her running mate Hasyim Muzadi. Yudhoyono led the candidates with 33.58% of the vote, but he had failed to capture the required majority. Thus, the election went into a second round runoff between Yudhoyono and Megawati. In 24 September 2004 runoff, the Yudhoyono-Kalla ticket captured 60.62% of the vote, in comparison to Megawati-Muzadi's 39.38%. Yudhoyono and Kalla took office as President and Vice President, respectively, on 20 October 2004.^[12]
