==History==

Historically, the first Governorgovernor of West Java was held by [[Sutardjo Kertohadikusumo]] who came from [[Central Java]].<ref name="jawatulen">{{Cite news |url=https://m.merdeka.com/politik/gubernur-pertama-jabar-orang-jawa-tulen-kantor-di-jakarta.html |title=Gubernur pertama Jabar, orang Jawa Tulen kantor di Jakarta |work=Merdeka.com |date=2013-02-24 |accessdate=2020-06-06 |language=id }}</ref> In the midst of the [[Indonesian National Revolution|revolution]], Sutardjo was replaced by [[Datuk Djamin|Mohammad Djamin]]. Dualism of leadership also occurred during the reign of [[Ipik Gandamana]], where [[Oja Somantri]] was elected and appointed as ''Kepala Daerah Swatantra Tingkat I'' in early January 1958.<ref name="oja">{{cite web |url=https://www.kompasiana.com/amp/jurnalgemini/561d06e03f23bdc60b8b4569/oya-somantri-politisi-nasionalisreligusnasionalis-religus-di-jawa-barat-1950an1950-an-sebuah-catatan-awal_561d06e03f23bdc60b8b4569awal |title=Oya Somantri: Politisi Nasionalis-Religus di Jawa Barat 1950-an (Sebuah Catatan Awal) |work=Kompasiana |date=2015-10-23 |accessdate=2020-06-01 }}</ref> At that time, Oja served as Chairman of the [[West Java Regional People's Representative Council|West Java Transitional Regional People's Representative Council]].

==Election==

In April 2008, West Java held its first ever election to choose a governor, whereas previously the governors were elected by members of DPRD. The poll is part of a country-wide decentralisation drive, allowing for direct local elections in several areas. Elections for governor and deputy governor are held for a fixed five-year term.

==List==

Although not consecutively, the Governorgovernor of West Java was always appointed to the position of [[List of ministers of home affairs (Indonesia)|Minister of Home Affairs of Indonesia]] during the [[Politics of Indonesia|Old Order]] to [[New Order (Indonesia)|New Order]]. The following is a definitive list of [[Governors]] of [[West Java]] since 1945.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://jabarprov.go.id/infografis/#1 |title=Jabar dalam Grafis: Sejarah Pemimpin |last= |first= |date=2014 |website=Pemerintah Provinsi Jawa Barat |publisher= |access-date=2018-05-12 }}</ref>
