Darmadi Durianto (born 25 June 1967) is an Indonesian academician and politician from PDI-P who is a member of the People's Representative Council. A Chinese Indonesian, Durianto was first elected into the legislative body in 2014.

Background[edit]

Damadi Durianto (Chinese: 林德纯; pinyin: Lín Déchún) was born in Mempawah Regency of West Kalimantan on 25 June 1967.[1] He graduated with a degree in management from Atma Jaya Catholic University in 1990.[2]

Durianto is of Chinese descent, and he is the advisory board head of West Kalimantan Chinese Indonesian Association (Indonesian: Perhimpunan Tionghoa Kalbar Indonesia).[3]

Career[edit]

Durianto lectured at his alma mater Atma Jaya and the Kwik Kian Gie School of Business in Jakarta, teaching graduate courses. He first joined PDI-P around 2003–2004, as part of a think tank within the party. He ran for a seat in the People's Representative Council in 2009 from the Central Sulawesi constituency, but did not secure a seat.[4][5]

In the 2014 legislative election, Durianto ran as a candidate from PDI-P and won 52,861 votes, securing a seat in the People's Representative Council from Jakarta's 3rd electoral district.[6] He became a member of the body's sixth commission which handles investments and industry.[7]

In 2018, Durianto expressed his concern over the presence of low-quality imported Chinese steel in the Indonesian market.[8] Durianto also opposed a decision by the central government in 2018 to allow rice imports, and requested a coordinated explanation from the ministries involved in the decision making.[9] He defended Widodo's government from accusations of overborrowing, and called the attacks a "structured, systematic issue made up by certain parties".[10]

He attacked incumbent vice president Jusuf Kalla in 2018, criticising Kalla's political maneuvering and requested parties in Widodo's coalition to exercise caution.[11] Durianto also called PKB politician Muhaimin Iskandar's efforts to become Widodo's running mate in the 2019 presidential election simply an effort to boost the party's electability.[12] Durianto was reelected from the same district in the 2019 legislative election after winning 105,243 votes,[13] and is running for a third term in the 2024 election.[14]
