Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono, M.Sc., M.P.A., M.A. (born in Bandung, West Java, 10 August 1978) is the oldest child from Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Kristiani Herawati.
He graduated from Taruna Nusantara High School in 1997 and the Indonesian Military Academy in 2000 and is a holder of the Adhi Makayasa Medal like his father, continuing family tradition as the best graduate of the Military Academy. In July 2006, Agus graduated from the Institute of Defense and Strategic Studies, Singapore with a master's degree in strategic studies, and studied at Harvard University. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono gave a speech at Harvard Kennedy School in September 2009 and joked that Agus became "another Harvard student working for" him – some of Yudhoyono's ministers and military generals also went to Harvard. He is married to Annisa Pohan on 8 July 2005. The couple's daughter, Almira Tunggadewi Yudhoyono, was born on 17 August 2008.
After 16 years in the military, he withdrew in 2016 to be nominated as the Democratic candidate for Governor of Jakarta in the 2017 election, with Sylviana Murni as his running mate. He is supported by the Democratic Party, United Development Party (PPP), National Awakening Party (PKB), and National Mandate Party (PAN). He finished third in the election with 17.06% of the popular vote, behind Basuki Tjahaja Purnama with 42.96% vote and Anies Baswedan with 39.97% vote.
