Born in Jombang, East Java, he was educated at Gadjah Mada University (UGM) and the University of Indonesia (UI). He entered politics during the fall of president Suharto during the late 1990s.

He was close to president and PKB founder Abdurrahman Wahid, and was elected the PKB's chairman in 2005.

After working in several organizations, his government career started when he was elected into and became deputy speaker of the People's Representative Council (DPR) in 1999 until 2009. He later also served as the Minister of Labor and Transmigration between 2009 and 2014, under Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
