Political Figure

H. Mochamad Ridwan Kamil, S.T., M.U.D.

     M. Ridwan Kamil was born in Bandung, West Java, October 4, 1971; (age 47) son of Dr. Atje Misbach, SH (late) and Dra. Tjutju Sukaesih. Ridwan Kamil is an Indonesian architect and politician. Before becoming an official, this man who was familiarly called Kang Emil had a career as an architect concurrently a non-permanent lecturer at the Bandung Institute of Technology. In 2013, Ridwan Kamil from a professional circle was nominated by the Prosperous Justice Party and the Great Indonesia Movement Party as mayor of Bandung accompanied by Oded Muhammad Danial as a candidate for vice mayor. In the plenary meeting of the Bandung City Election Commission on June 28, 2013, the pair won a landslide victory over seven other couples by gaining 45.24% of the votes so that Ridwan and Oded's pair became winners in the 2013 Mayor of Bandung, with their term of office starting September 16 2013 - September 4, 2018.

     In the West Java 2018 Governor General election, Ridwan Kamil was promoted as a gubernatorial candidate, paired with Uu Ruzhanul Ulum by PPP, PKB, Nasdem Party, and Hanura Party. And starting September 5, 2018 Ridwan Kamil has officially become the Governor of West Java with his deputy Uu Ruzhanul Ulum.

     The figure of Ridwan Kamil was very popular among the people of Bandung so he made several breakthroughs in managing the Flower City. Therefore, it is referred to as the one term of Indonesia's future. In leading the city of Bandung, Ridwan Kamil has his own way of embracing its citizens by utilizing social networks, especially twitter, in communicating with its citizens. In addition, in disseminating the programs and updating the Bandung news also to improve this social network.

   But in his leadership, Ridwan Kamil still lacked. The disadvantage is that he is not from a bureaucrat and cannot master the management of the government budget. Because the work program carried out is still in the form of a short term so that its performance is not completed in one period of leadership. And in its performance problems, it still prioritizes the easy ones first so that the heavy ones are delayed. From Ridwan Kamil's resilience, Bandung's progress has not been optimal.
