Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (born 10 August 1978), commonly referred to as AHY, is an Indonesian politician and former army major who is currently serving as the leader of the Democratic Party. Serving in the Army from 2000 until 2016, he is the executive director of the Yudhoyono Institute and founder of the Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono Foundation. He is the son of former Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, more commonly known as SBY.[1][2]

Born on 10 August 1978, in Bandung, West Java, Agus graduated from the Indonesian Military Academy in 1999. During his time in the military, he undertook higher formal education. He received a Master of Science in Strategic Studies at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore in 2006[citation needed], Master in Public Administration from Harvard University, United States in 2010[citation needed], and Master of Arts in Leadership and Management from Webster University in the United States.[3] While serving in the Army, AHY joined the security operations in Aceh in 2002 and UN peace operations in Lebanon in 2006. He also co-founded the Indonesian Defense University. In 2015, he led one of the Capital's security units.[4] In 2016, he left the military and entered politics.

In 2016, he was appointed by the Democratic Party, the National Awakening Party (PKB), the United Development Party (PPP), and the National Mandate Party (PAN), to become a candidate for the 2017 Jakarta Governor election.[5] Despite losing the election to Anies Baswedan, he remained active in politics. He commanded the Joint Task Command (Kogasma) to win Indonesia's 2019 General Election.[6] On early 2019 he targeted to achieve 15 percent of national vote,[7] but later he revised the target to achieve 10 percent of national vote.[8] He was then given a new position as Deputy chairman of the Democratic Party.[9] He was also elected to be the leader of the Democratic Party by acclamation on 15 March 2020.[10]

On 21 February 2024, he was appointed Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning by President Joko Widodo.[11]
