Ratu Atut Chosiyah (born 16 May 1962) is a former governor of the province of Banten, Indonesia. She was suspended from office in 2014 because of a corruption case. She held office for several terms. Before her election as governor in 2006, she was the deputy governor under Djoko Munandar starting from 11 January 2002. Djoko was involved in a corruption case and was suspended from office in October 2005.[1] President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono appointed Ratu Atut as the acting governor to take over Djoko's administrative duties and she later became governor.[2] She thus became the first female governor in Indonesia.[3] In May 2014, she was formally charged by the Indonesian Corruption Eradication Commission for alleged corruption.[4] In early September 2014, she was sentenced to a four-year term of imprisonment on the charges brought by the Commission against her.[5] In September 2022, Ratu Atut was released on parole.[6]
