Early life

Andi Harun was born in Bone Regency, in South Sulawesi, on 12 December 1972. His parents were rice farmers and merchants at a local market. After completing high school in Sinjai, [1] he received a degree in mining engineering at the Indonesian Muslim University  [ id ] in Makassar. He briefly moved to Jakarta after graduating before getting a job in mining and moved again to East Kalimantan in 1995. [2]

He would later receive a bachelor's degree in law from the Indonesian Muslim University and a master's degree in economics from Mulawarman University. [1]

Career

In 1998, Harun took part in student protests in Jakarta leading up to the fall of Suharto, before returning again to East Kalimantan. There, he took part as a candidate in the 1999 legislative election and won a seat in the Provincial Regional House of Representatives as a member of the National Mandate Party (PAN). He was reelected to the body in 2004, still as a PAN member, and became its deputy speaker. [2] [1] During his time at PAN, he was deputy chairman of the provincial branch between 1998 and 2001, and chairman between 2001 and 2006. [1] For the 2009, he moved to the Patriot Party and retained his seat in the legislature. [3]

Harun ran in the 2010 mayoral election for Samarinda with the support of Patriot, Golkar, and Gerindra, placing third out of seven candidates with 57,979 votes (19%). [4] By 2013, he had moved to Golkar and became the party's branch chairman in Bontang the following year. [1] He was elected for a fourth term in the provincial DPRD in 2014 as a Golkar member. [1] In the middle of this term, he moved to Gerindra, and following a series of internal disputes and lawsuits Golkar replaced him in the provincial parliament on 4 September 2018. [5] He was elected for a fifth term in 2019 as a Gerindra legislator, becoming deputy speaker for a second time. [1]

In the 2020 Samarinda mayoral election, Harun ran again, with PDI-P cadre Rusmadi as running mate. [6] The ticket won the election after securing 102,592 votes (36.12%) in the three-way race. [7] Harun was sworn in as mayor on 26 February 2021. [8] During his term as mayor, the city developed a new water treatment facility for freshwater needs [9] and worked with the provincial government to improve infrastructure and housing in the city's slums. [10]

Family

Harun married Rinda Wahyuni in 1995, [2] and the couple has three children. [11] His eldest child Muhammad Afif Reyhan became a member of the Samarinda City Regional House of Representatives in 2021 as a Gerindra member replacing a resigning member. [12]
