Mochammad Djamhari (born 2 November 1943) is an Indonesian military officer who served as the Regent of Bekasi from 1993 to 1998.
Education and career[edit]
Djamhari was born on 2 November 1943 in Plaju, Palembang, the capital of South Sumatra. Upon completing high school in 1964, he underwent military education at the Indonesian Military Academy. He graduated from the academy in 1967 and was commissioned as an infantry first lieutenant. Upon completing the basic infantry course (kursus antar kecabangan, Susarbang) in 1968, he was assigned to the 412th infantry battalion in Purworejo as a platoon commander.[1]
Djamhari attended advanced course for infantry officers (kursus lanjutan perwira infanteri, Suslapaif) in 1972 and the Indonesian Army Command and General Staff College (Seskoad) in 1983. Upon completing Seskoad, in 1984 Djamhari was assigned to the Bulukumba Regency as the commander of military district. He was appointed as the chief of staff of the Santiago (North Sulawesi) Military Area in 1987 and assistant for territorial affairs in the Jakarta Regional Military Command in 1990.[1]
Regent of Bekasi[edit]
Djamhari, along with two other army officers and several bureaucrats, were nominated for the post. In the final election held by the Bekasi council on 9 October 1993, Djamhari faced bureaucrats Kailani AR and Nonon Sonthanie. Djamhari won the election with 31 out of 45 votes, while Kailani only received 8 votes and Nonon 6 votes.[2] The speaker of Bekasi's council, Abdul Manan, described Djamhari's nomination as one of the smoothest, in comparison with the previous nominations. Djamhari was installed as the Regent of Bekasi on 9 November 1993.[1]
He was replaced by Wikanda Darmawijaya on 9 November 1998.[3]
