He was elected to a second five-year term as Governor of Bali in May 2013.
The current president of Indonesia is Joko Widodo. He is Indonesia’s seventh president, and has been in office since 2014. The current political era is known as Reformasi, a period of transitions and reforms following a three-decade authoritarian rule by former President Hajji Suharto. The current government is pursuing a more liberal course. Four recent amendments to the constitution enacted in 1945 have created major reforms in the political and governmental structure. Indonesia has struggled with corruption in the past and present, but new government initiatives are gradually rooting it out at all civic levels.
