Early life
[edit | edit source]Ade Yasin was born on 29 May 1968 in Bogor Regency to Yasin and Nuryati. Ade's father was an early founder of the United Development Party (PPP) in Bogor, and had served in the local legislatures of both Bogor Regency and Bogor City. She studied in Bogor, graduating from high school in 1987 and continuing her studies until she received her master's degree from Djuanda University. After graduating, she began to work as a lawyer.[1][2]
Career

She was reelected to a second term in 2014. In 2018, she ran in the regency election and won with 912,221 (41.12%) votes.[3] She was sworn in as regent on 30 December 2018.[4]
As regent, Yasin increased the time allocated to religious studies in Bogor Regency's state-funded schools, receiving an award from the Ministry of Religious Affairs for the policy.[5] She also initiated a rural infrastructure funding program, which in 2021 and 2022 disbursed Rp 400 billion (US$26 million) to Bogor's villages – Rp 1 billion per village annually.[6][7]
Arrest and prison
