Biography edit

Ida was born in Semarang, Central Java on 3 August 1967.[1] She was first elected into Jakarta's legislature after the 2009 election,[2] when she won 7,809 votes.[3] She was sworn in on 25 August 2009.[4] In her first term in the legislature, she chaired one of its commissions.[2] She was reelected in the 2014 election.[5] After her second reelection in 2019, she was considered by her party as a candidate for the legislature's speaker alongside Gembong Warsono and Prasetyo Edi Marsudi.[2] Prasetyo eventually was appointed.[6]

In February 2023, Ida proposed that the Kemayoran Athletes Village – a complex developed by the central government initially for the 2018 Asian Games and later repurposed to house patients during the COVID-19 pandemic until December 2022 – be taken over by the Jakarta Government in order to repurpose it into low-cost housing and a children's hospital. Ida remarked that the complex "had plenty of Kuntilanak".[7] She has also opposed the holding of Formula E races in Jakarta.[8]
