Biography
editAnggara was born on 16 May 1989 in Jakarta.[1] He graduated from SMA Negeri 6 Jakarta in 2007, and proceeded to study advertising. Prior to his political career, he had worked as a project manager, a site surveyor, and a creative director.[2]
In politics, Anggara joined the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) and became chairman of the party's branch in South Jakarta.[1] He was elected into the Jakarta Regional People's Representative Council following the 2019 election as one of eight PSI legislators.[3] He had run in Jakarta's 7th electoral district, and had won 9,027 votes.[4] Within the council, he was appointed as deputy chair of Commission E which covers welfare.[5]
He was appointed leader of PSI's faction in the legislature in April 2022.[6] He has criticized PSI's central committee for the party's attacks against governor Anies Baswedan, which he deemed as too "personal".[7][8] He has also questioned the financial reasoning behind Jakarta's hosting of Formula E, citing the large commitment fee (Rp 560 billion) compared to the posted operating profit from the event (Rp 5 billion).[9] In 2023, he proposed increasing the salaries of municipal health workers in Jakarta in order to compete with private hospitals.[10]
In September 2023, Anggara moved to the National Mandate Party (PAN), and was replaced in the legislature as PSI's faction leader by William Aditya Sarana.[11] He ran as a PAN candidate for the Jakarta legislature in the 2024 legislative election.[12]
Family
