Airin Rachmi Diany (born 1976) is an Indonesian politician who served as the mayor of South Tangerang from 2011 to 2021.[1] She is also the aunt of Banten lieutenant governor Andika Hazrumy.[2] She has led several initiatives to combat recruitment of people in her city by radical fundamentalist groups, including interfaith forums, with the support of Indonesia's central government.[3] She also commissioned a canal project in order to prevent flooding on the Jakarta–Serpong Toll Road in February 2017.[4]
Diany won the People's Choice Award as well as the Miss Indonesia Tourism award at the 1996 Miss Universe Indonesia contest. Actress-turned-representative in the People's Representative Council, Nurul Arifin, pointed to Diany and Surabaya mayor Tri Rismaharini as her inspiration for running for mayor of Bandung.[5]
After the end of her tenure in South Tangerang, Diany ran in 2024 as a candidate for the national House of Representatives from Banten's 3rd electoral district as a Golkar candidate and was elected, winning 302,878 votes.[6]
