Indonesian presidential election, 1998

An indirect presidential election took place in Indonesia on 10 March 1998. President Suharto was unanimously elected to a seventh term by the People's Consultative Assembly along with new Vice-President BJ Habibie. Despite the election, which took place during the height of the 1998 financial crisis, Suharto was forced to resign that May, just two months into what was to have been a five-year term.
