The 2004 general election in Indonesia began on 5 April with the parliamentary election and ended on 20 September with the second round of the presidential election. This was the longest election that the country had ever witnessed and a marked success in Indonesia's quest for democracy as it was conducted in an orderly and peaceful manner. This chapter examines both parliamentary and presidential elections and their significance for Indonesian politics; the formation of the new cabinet; and the problems faced by the new Yudhoyono administration. It also looks at the tsunami disaster and Indonesia's foreign relations with special reference to military relations between Indonesia and the United States
