Siti Hediati Hariyadi (born 14 April 1959), popularly known as Titiek Suharto, is an Indonesian businesswoman & politician. She is the second daughter (and fourth child) of Suharto, the second president of Indonesia.[1] She currently serves as a member of the Indonesia House of Representatives.
Initially a member of Golkar, she was elected to the People's Representative Council in the 2014 Indonesian legislative election. She was re-elected to the People's Representative Council in the 2024 election as a member of Gerindra.[2]
Titiek was born in Semarang, Central Java in 1959. She was the fourth child of Suharto and Siti Hartinah. Titiek studied at SMA Negeri 3 Jakarta from 1974–1977, and graduated from University of Indonesia in 1985 with a Bachelor of Economics.[3]
In May 1983, Titiek married Prabowo Subianto Djojohadikusumo, an Army officer. She and Prabowo had one son, Didit Hediprasetyo, who was schooled in Boston and became a fashion[4] and car interior designer.[5]
When Suharto resigned in 1998, his family was alleged to control over 500 companies and have assets exceeding $1 billion.[6] An investigation by TIME Asia noted there was no evidence the money had been obtained illegally.[7] [8] [9]
Titiek and Prabowo divorced in 1998 after Soeharto resigned following widespread anti-government protests and mass riots.[10] Sixteen years after their divorce, Titiek supported Prabowo at rallies for his presidential campaign in 2014, but she dismissed speculation they would remarry.[11]
Titiek has led the Indonesian Art Foundation and was a TV commentator for the 2006 World Cup. There was some discussion as to why she was chosen as a commentator. The TV company said that this was because they were introducing a wider variety of presenters.[12]
From 2014-2018, she was elected as a member of Indonesia's House of Representatives through Golkar, the political party that her father created. Titiek has backed her brother Tommy Suharto to lead the party.[13] On 5 December 2017, Titiek said she herself was ready to stand for the leadership of Golkar because the party’s popularity had slumped.[14] In June 2018, Titiek resigned from Golkar and joined Tommy's Berkarya Party. She complained her voice had never been heard in Golkar.[15]
For the 2024 Indonesian legislative election, Titiek ran as a legislative candidate under Gerindra, Prabowo's political party.[16] She received the 2nd highest number of votes in her electoral district of Yogyakarta, securing a seat for Gerindra.[17]
