Bibit Waluyo and Rustriningsih were officially inaugurated as Governor and Deputy Governor of Central Java on 23 August 2008 by the Minister of Home Affairs Mardiyanto at the Central Java DPRD Building,Jalan Pahlawan,Semarang. He started his career as Governor of Central Java with a program that he launched during the 2008 Gubernatorial Election,namely Bali Ndeso Mbangun Deso or returning to the village and building a village. This program reaps the pros and cons. But on the other hand,this program has succeeded in bringing Central Java into a province that can be self-sufficient in rice in 2012. Bibit Waluyo also has a record of controversies during his reign,including the issue of the rift in his relationship with his deputy Rustriningsih.
