akarta governor candidate Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono is richer than his father, former president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY), when the latter ran for a second term as president in 2009.
According to the Jakarta General Elections Commission, Agus, who resigned from the army with the rank of a major, has total wealth of Rp 15.2 billion (US$1.1 million) plus $551.332.
In November 2009, SBY, a retired three star army general, reported wealth of Rp 7.6 billion.
Agus said his wealth, which had been reported to the Corruption Eradication Commission, was mixed with that of his celebrity wife Annisa Pohan.
“Me and my wife are a package, there is no need to worry about that. And remember, my wife is an art worker who has been working long before we got married. So the report is true,” Agus said on Tuesday night, as reported by kompas.com.
Agus’ wealth includes properties, land and building in South Jakarta and Bogor, West Java, valued at a total of Rp 6 billion.
He has a company, PT Exquisite Indonesia, worth Rp 360 million and a Toyota Vellfire car of Rp 550 million.
In the gubernatorial election, Agus was nominated by the Democratic Party, which is chaired SBY, the National Awakening Party (PKB), the United Development Party (PPP) and the National Mandate Party (PAN).
Recent surveys by Polltracking Indonesia and Charta Politika put Agus first in popularity ratings, followed by incumbent Governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama and the third governor candidate, Anies Baswedan. (jun)
