Airin Rachmi Diany (born 1976) is an Indonesian politician who served as the mayor of South Tangerang from 2011 to 2021.[1] She is also the aunt of Banten lieutenant governor Andika Hazrumy.[2] She has led several initiatives to combat recruitment of people in her city by radical fundamentalist groups, including interfaith forums, with the support of Indonesia's central government.[3] She also commissioned a canal project in order to prevent flooding on the Jakarta–Serpong Toll Road in February 2017.[4]

Diany represented West Java at 1996 Puteri Indonesia. Diany placed as one of the Top 10 finalists. Diany also won the People's Choice Award as well as the Miss Indonesia Tourism award in that competition. Actress-turned-representative in the People's Representative Council, Nurul Arifin, pointed to Diany and Surabaya mayor Tri Rismaharini as her inspiration for running for mayor of Bandung.[5]

Political Career

[edit]

Diany started his political career in 2008. In that year, Diany became a candidate for deputy regent of Tangerang accompanying Tangerang regent candidate Jazuli Juwaeli. However, on that occasion, Airin lost to the pair Ismet Iskandar and Rano Karno. When South Tangerang officially became a new expansion area in 2009, Airin ran as a candidate for mayor in the 2010 South Tangerang regional elections. Airin was paired with Benyamin Davnie and managed to get the most votes, namely 241,797 votes. The Diany and Benyamin couple officially became Mayor and Deputy Mayor of South Tangerang in 2011-2016. Then, in the 2016 South Tangerang regional elections, the Diany and Benyamin pair were again elected to lead the city. As a result, Diany and Benyamin returned to hold this position until 2021.[6]

After the end of her tenure in South Tangerang, Diany ran in 2024 as a candidate for the national House of Representatives from Banten's 3rd electoral district as a Golkar candidate and was elected, winning 302,878 votes.[7]

Diany is running to run as a candidate for Governor of Banten paired with former deputy regent of Lebak Ade Sumardi for Vice Governor in 2024 Banten gubernatorial election.[8]

Personal life

[edit]

Diany is married to Tubagus Chaeri Wardana, a Banten figure who is the younger brother of former Banten Governor Ratu Atut Chosiyah. They married in 1997 and were blessed with two children, namely Tubagus Ghifari Al Chusaeri Wardana (1998) and Ratu Ghefira Marhamah Wardana (2004).
