Try Sutrisno (born Surabaya , East Java 15 November 1935 ) is Indonesia 's sixth Vice President from the period 1993 to 1998 . Much like Umar Wirahadikusumah and Sudharmono before him, he had a Military career. The highlight of which saw him as Commander of the ABRI from 1988-1993. His nomination and subsequent election as Vice President in 1993 came as a result of ABRI's displeasure at Sudharmono's election as Vice President for the 1988-1993 term. Normally, Vice Presidential candidates are selected by Suharto himself but in Try Sutrisno's case, ABRI members in the People's Consultative Assembly did not wait and nominated Try Sutrisno as Vice President. With all members of the People's Consultative Assembly behind this nomination, Suharto was forced to accept the nomination. EXTERNAL LINKS |
