List of Indonesian Political Party Chairpersons' Ages: Who's the Youngest and Oldest?

President Joko Widodo's (Jokowi's) son, Kaesang Pangarep, is currently the youngest chairman of a political party (parpol) in Indonesia.

Based on data compiled by *Tempo.co*, the man born on December 25, 1994, was only 28 years old when he took on the role of PSI chairman. Kaesang's appointment as the new PSI leader came just days after he officially became a member and received his PSI membership card (KTA).

The appointment was made during the PSI National Coffee Meeting (Kopdarnad) at the Jakarta Theater, Central Jakarta, on Monday (September 25, 2023). The decision is included in the PSI Supervisory Board's Decree (SK) read by PSI Deputy Supervisory Chair Grace Natalie.

"Considering and so forth, taking into account and so forth, it is decided and determined: 1. The appointment of Mr. Kaesang Pangarep as Chairman of the Central Leadership Council of the Indonesian Solidarity Party for the 2023-2028 period," read the PSI Supervisory Board's SK, as read by Grace, as reported by *Katadata.co.id*, Monday (September 25, 2023).

Kaesang claims that his decision to accept PSI's offer was due to a shared vision and mission between the two parties.

"My friends and I at PSI have had a fairly long relationship, including my communication with the Deputy Minister (of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency) Raja Juli Antoni and Sis Grace," he said after receiving his KTA from PSI in Solo, Central Java, on Saturday (September 23, 2023).

Next is Ridho Rahmadi as the second youngest party chairman in the country. Currently, the chairman of the Ummat Party is 38 years old.

Followed by Democratic Party Chairman Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) who is 45 years old. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's (SBY's) son has led the Democrats since 2022.

Meanwhile, Megawati Soekarnoputri is the oldest party chairman in Indonesia. The woman who leads the PDI-P is 76 years old in 2023.
