Siti Hediati Hariyadi (born 14 April 1959), popularly known as Titiek Suharto, is an Indonesian businesswoman & politician. She is the second daughter (and fourth child) of Suharto, the second president of Indonesia. She currently serves as a member of the Indonesia House of Representatives.
Initially a member of Golkar, she was elected to the People's Representative Council in the 2014 Indonesian legislative election. She was re-elected to the People's Representative Council in the 2024 election as a member of Gerindra.
Life
Titiek was born in Semarang, Central Java in 1959. She was the fourth child of Suharto and Siti Hartinah. Titiek studied at SMA Negeri 3 Jakarta from 1974–1977, and graduated from University of Indonesia in 1985 with a Bachelor of Economics.
In May 1983, Titiek married Prabowo Subianto Djojohadikusumo, an Army officer. She and Prabowo had one son, Didit Hediprasetyo, who was schooled in Boston and became a fashion and car interior designer.
When Suharto resigned in 1998, his family was alleged to control over 500 companies and have assets exceeding $1 billion. An investigation by TIME Asia noted there was no evidence the money had been obtained illegally.
Titiek and Prabowo divorced in 1998 after Soeharto resigned following widespread anti-government protests and mass riots. Sixteen years after their divorce, Titiek supported Prabowo at rallies for his presidential campaign in 2014, but she dismissed speculation they would remarry.
Titiek has led the Indonesian Art Foundation and was a TV commentator for the 2006 World Cup. There was some discussion as to why she was chosen as a commentator. The TV company said that this was because they were introducing a wider variety of presenters.
From 2014-2018, she was elected as a member of Indonesia's House of Representatives through Golkar, the political party that her father created. Titiek has backed her brother Tommy Suharto to lead the party. On 5 December 2017, Titiek said she herself was ready to stand for the leadership of Golkar because the party’s popularity had slumped. In June 2018, Titiek resigned from Golkar and joined Tommy's Berkarya Party. She complained her voice had never been heard in Golkar.
For the 2024 Indonesian legislative election, Titiek ran as a legislative candidate under Gerindra, Prabowo's political party. She received the 2nd highest number of votes in her electoral district of Yogyakarta, securing a seat for Gerindra.
