Imron Rosyadi (born 17 December 1961) is an Indonesian politician and former bureaucrat who served as the regent of Cirebon between 2019 and 2023.

Early life and education

Imron Rosyadi was born in Cirebon Regency on 17 December 1961. He studied in Cirebon, including nine years at Islamic schools.[1] [2] He then studied at the State Islamic Institute Bandung, and after receiving his degree began to work as a civil servant.[2] He would later receive master's degrees in management and theology.[3]

Career

His career as a civil servant began at a Ministry of Religious Affairs office in Bandung Regency. He eventually became head of the office, before heading the West Bandung Regency office when the regency split from Bandung. In 2016, he was assigned to Cirebon Regency's religious affairs office.[2]

In the 2018 Cirebon regency election, Rosyadi ran as the running mate of incumbent regent Sunjaya Purwadisastra with the support of PDI-P, and the pair won the four-way race with 319,630 votes (31.9%).[4] However, Purwadisastra would be arrested for bribery which occurred during his first term, and so Rosyadi was made acting regent immediately after being sworn in as vice regent on 18 May 2019 as Purwadisastra was removed from his post around five minutes after he was sworn in for his second term.[5] Rosyadi would be sworn in as a full regent on 1 October 2019.[6]

As regent, Rosyadi has launched programs to add new classrooms to schools in the regency and renovate existing ones.[7] His first term ended on 17 May 2024, and he has declared that he will run in the 2024 Cirebon regency election for a second term.[8]

Family

He is married to Nunung Roosmini, and the couple has four children.[1]
