Chosen as Chairman of the Democratic Party

As the party who won the election of 2009, the second congress of the Democratic Party in Bandung 20–23 May 2010 becomes an important milestone in the politics of Indonesia.

Anas declared his candidacy in Jakarta on April 15, 2010. In his declaration speech, Anas emphasized that his goal was not to fight or win a race. His candidacy was not to secure a high standing official position. According to Anas, congress is arena for amicable competition amongst brothers. "All candidates are the best cadres and brothers that represent the Democratic Party."

In this declaration, Anas expressed his agenda to institutionalize the party. That is, how to transform the ideas of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) as the central and most important figure of the Democratic Party into a strong party.

His other agenda is internal stabilization; better, more qualified and systematic cadre recruitment; decentralizing the management of party through systematic measures; building political culture of integrity, intelligence and humility; also to manage strong and accountable logistics.

Anas's political ideas were further included in his cultural speech "Building the Culture of Democracy" that took place in Jakarta, May 16, 2010. This speech is part of a continuing culture of debate that can be traced back to Indonesia's founding fathers such as Bung Karno, Bung Hatta, Sjahrir; and other intellectuals such as Tan Malaka, Soedjatmoko, even Kartini who poured out her ideas in letters.

In this speech, Anas expressed his ideas on money politics, the patron based system, sub-nasionlalism, and the dominance of "ascribed status", weak meritocracy and "zero-sum game" as the greatest challenges in building the culture of democracy that must be protected from the pollution of money politics. Meritocracy will give rise to competent leaders, not a strongman who will bypass the system and institution such that checks and balances can progress effectively.

In the middle of his preparation for congress, Anas published his book "Silent Revolution" in the auditorium of Pikiran Rakyat, Bandung. This book describes the successful strategies of the Democratic Party and SBY in winning the election of 2009. Zhilal illustrated the diligence of the Democratic Party in surveying the market periodically and to include all elements of the party. The book also includes personal observations of how a party works hard in preparation of the election without much public fanfare.

There was tight competition in congress between three candidates: Anas, Andi Malaranggeng (who is also Minister of Youth and Sports), and Marzuki Alie (DPR RI Chairman) who only declared his candidacy one day before congress started.

In the first round of votings, Anas lead (236 votes) over Marzuki Alie (209 votes) and Andi Malarangeng (82 votes).

As none of the candidates received more than 50% of the votes, there was a second round of votings. In the process of this second round, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono declared a statement saying that all regional and municipal representatives should vote for the general chairman of the Democratic Party by following their heart, illustrating the workings of democracy within the party.

In the second round, Anas took lead by receiving 280 votes. Marzuki Alie received 240 votes, while two votes were absentees. This election made Anas one of the youngest Chairman of a political party in Indonesia. In response to the win, Anas said, "You see for yourself, I won through a democratic election. This is evidence, that in addition to being a party that prioritizes democracy, Mr. SBY is also a true democrat as he never got involved in the process of election, including supporting one of the candidates."

On October 17, 2010, Anas appointed the Democratic Party's plenary board that is composed of 2.000 people, at the same time the birthday of the party was being celebrated in Jakarta.

Resignation

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) named Democratic Party chief Anas Urbaningrum a graft suspect for allegedly taking bribes and receiving goods in relation with the construction of the Hambalang sports complex on Friday, February 22, 2013. The KPK earlier named two other suspects in the Hambalang case – former youth and sports minister Andi Mallarangeng and Dedi Kusdinar, also of the same ministry. The following day after the KPK named him suspect, he announced his resignation from the post of the Democratic Party chief. Anas pleaded innocent in his trial but refused to reveal where his wealth was obtained.
