Biography

Sofyan was born on 18 January 1949, and graduated from the Indonesian Military Academy in 1971.[1] He enrolled at the National Resilience Institute in April 1997, previously having served as commander of the Bengkulu Military District.[2] In 2002, with the rank of major general, he was appointed as experts' coordinator for the Chief of Staff of the Indonesian Army.[3] He would retire from the Armed Forces in 2005.[1]

By 2009, Sofyan had entered politics, being elected into the Jakarta Regional People's Representative Council as part of the Democratic Party and he was appointed as the council's speaker. He was initially appointed as temporary speaker on 25 August 2009,[4] before his official appointment on 11 September 2009.[5] In 2012, Sofyan refused a proposal by then-Vice Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama to permit media access to council budgetary meetings.[6] He was also chairman of the Democratic Party's Jakarta branch between 2009 and 2014, and was vice president of the Badminton Association of Indonesia between 2004 and 2008.[7]

Following the 2014 legislative election, Sofyan retained his seat in the council, although he lost the speakership to Prasetyo Edi Marsudi and became deputy speaker instead.[8] He was sworn in as deputy speaker on 26 September 2014.[9] On 20 February 2019, Sofyan was replaced as deputy speaker by fellow Democratic Party councillor Santoso by Democratic Party chairman Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Sofyan was absent from Santoso's appointment ceremony.[10] He remained as a councillor following the 2019 election.[11]
