Wahyu Hamijaya (1944/1945 – 8 April 2010) was an Indonesian military officer and politician who was the Mayor of Bandung for one term between 1993 and 1998. He was a colonel in the Indonesian Army.
Career[edit]
Immediately prior to being sworn in as mayor, he was a colonel in the Indonesian Army, as commander of the 72nd Military Area Command in the Yogyakarta Special Region.[1] He was elected by vote of the Bandung city council on 13 September 1993, receiving 38 of 45 votes cast. He was made mayor officially the following month.[2]
During his tenure as mayor, Hamijaya relocated street vendors into a centralized location, but within a month, the vendors returned to their previous spots leading to clashes with municipal officials when the government attempted to move them back. This eventually led to a number of shophouses in the city being damaged. Hamijaya was replaced by Aa Tarmana in 1998.[3]
Death[edit]
He died on 8 April 2010 at the Hasan Sadikin Hospital in Bandung, at the age of 65, due to brain hemorrhage. He was buried in Pameutingan village in Bandung Regency, near his home.[4]
