About Johannes Latuharhary

  • Mr.
  • Johannes Latuharhary (6 July 1900 – 8 November 1959) was an Indonesian politician and nationalist.
  • He was the first Indonesian governor of Maluku, serving between 1950 and 1955. An early proponent of Moluccan inclusion in the Indonesian state, Latuharhary was born in Saparua and moved to Batavia to pursue higher education, before receiving a scholarship to study at Leiden University.
  • Upon his return, he worked as a judge in East Java and began participating in the Indonesian nationalist movement through the Sarekat Ambon.
  • He later resigned and became an advocate and politician, merging the Sarekat with the mainstream movement of Indonesian nationalism after initial rifts caused by the issue of religion in politics.
  • Latuharhary moved to Jakarta and worked under the Department of Home Affairs during the Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies to manage Moluccans in Java, being arrested three times for different reasons.
  • He took part in the initial drafting of the Constitution of Indonesia through his membership of the BPUPKI and PPKI, where he unsuccessfully championed federalism and opposed the inclusion of religion in government through the Jakarta Charter and later opposing the formation of the Ministry of Religious Affairs. Following the proclamation of independence, he was appointed Governor of Maluku, but could not take power and instead organized Moluccans in Java to join the revolutionary cause.
  • He was for some time part of the Central Indonesian National Committee leadership and he participated in the Indonesian delegations of the Renville and the Roem–van Roijen Agreements.
  • He eventually took office in 1950, where he attempted to establish the government and rebuild the ruined city of Ambon, before he was removed from his post.
  • He died on 8 November 1959.
