List of governors of Yogyakarta

This is the list of governors of Special Region of Yogyakarta in Indonesia. Due to its root from the Yogyakarta Sultanate, and the great contribution of the royal realms in the Indonesia National Revolution, the former royal realms is formally granted the status of special province since 1950, and since 2012 the Government of Indonesia formally recognized the reigning Sultan of Yogyakarta as the hereditary Governor of Yogyakarta Special Region, and the reigning Prince of Paku Alam as the hereditary Vice Governor of Yogyakarta Special Region (article 18 paragraph 1c of UU No. 13 Tahun 2012).[1] The terms for both offices is limited to 5 years per period (article 25 paragraph 1 of UU No. 13 Tahun 2012), but the office isn't bound by periodic provision (article 25 paragraph 2 of UU No. 13 Tahun 2012), as normally applied to such public office,[2] effectively allowing the holder of the offices to hold the position for life.
