Encyclopedic overview
Muhammad Jusuf Kalla (listen; born 15 May 1942), commonly referred to by his initials JK, is an Indonesian politician and businessman who served as the 10th and 12th Vice President of Indonesia from 2004 to 2019, the only Vice President to serve two non-consecutive terms in office. He was the Golkar Party's presidential nominee in the 2009 presidential election. Before Kalla declared himself as the running mate for Joko Widodo in the 2014 presidential election, a 2012 poll placed his popularity among likely voters in the top three contenders for the presidency and ahead of his own party's nominee Aburizal Bakrie.
Kalla has served as the chairman of the Indonesian Red Cross Society since 2009.
