Syarfi Hutauruk (born 9 July 1959) is an Indonesian politician. He was a member of the House of Representatives from 1997 to 2009, and mayor of Sibolga, North Sumatra for two terms in 2010–2015 and 2016–2021.
Early life
Syarfi Hutauruk was born on 9 July 1959 in Sorkam, within Central Tapanuli Regency.[1] His parents were farmers.[2] After completing elementary school at his home village, he continued his studies at Islamic schools in Padang. He obtained a bachelor's degree in 1986 from Padang's Imam Bonjol Islamic Institute, and later in 2000 he would obtain a master's in human resource management from Indonesia Open University.[3]
Career
After completing his studies at Imam Bonjol, Hutauruk began to work as a marketing manager while also being a reporter for the magazine Kartini. He also for a time worked as a civil servant at the Ministry of Information.[3]
Following the 1997 Indonesian legislative election, Hutauruk became a member of the House of Representatives (DPR) as a Golkar member representing North Sumatra.[4] He would retain his DPR seat as a Golkar member following the 1999 (representing Central Tapanuli) and 2004 elections (from North Sumatra's 2nd district), and between 1999 and 2003 he was head of Golkar's parliamentary faction.[5] He was part of DPR's Fourth Commission during his 2004–2009 term.[6]
In 2010, Hutauruk ran in Sibolga's mayoral election with Marudut Situmorang as running mate, winning 20,493 votes (46.3%) and defeating four other candidates. His competitor Afifi Lubis launched a lawsuit over the election results to the Constitutional Court of Indonesia, which upheld the results.[7] Hutauruk and Situmorang were sworn in on 26 August 2010.[8] Hutauruk would be reelected in 2015 with Edipolo Sitanggang as his new deputy and 24,774 votes (55.1%),[9] and Hutauruk was sworn in for his second term on 17 February 2016.[10]
As mayor, Hutauruk pushed for the development of infrastructure for fishing and fish processing industries. During the COVID-19 pandemic late in his second term, Sibolga's municipal government provided stimulus funding for hospitality and restaurant industries and gave tax waivers.[11]
After his tenure in Sibolga ended, Hutauruk was elected chairman of the Islamic Education Movement (Persatuan Tarbiyah Islamiyah/PERTI) for the 2022–2027 term.[12] He also ran again for a seat in DPR, in his old district of North Sumatra II as a Demokrat candidate, but was not elected.[13][14]
Personal life
He is married to Delmeria Sikumbang, and the couple has three sons.[3][15] Delmeria served one term (2019–2024) in DPR representing North Sumatra's 2nd district as a Nasdem Party member.[16] In 2019, Hutauruk published an autobiography, the release date coinciding with his 60th birthday.[1]
