Erwan Kurtubi

Erwan Kurtubi (9 June 1950 – 11 February 2023) was an Indonesian civil servant and politician who was the Regent of Pandeglang from 2009 until 2010 and from 2011 until 2016.

He then returned to West Java and continued his studies at the Academy of Home Governance (Akademi Pemerintahan Dalam Negeri, APDN).

[3] After leaving his post of regional secretary, Kurtubi was chosen by Natakusumah as his running mate for the 2005 Pandeglang regent elections.

[5] On one occasion, the local ulema council issued a fatwa for Muslims in Pandeglang to vote for the pair, prompting backlash from members of the moderate Islamic organization Nahdlatul Ulama.

Kurtubi picked Heryani Yuhana, the stepmother of Banten's governor Ratu Atut Chosiyah, as his running mate.

Kurtubi issued an instruction for civil servants in Pandeglang to vote for him, while Narulita's supporters in the bureaucracy distributed material assistance using her name.

[8][9] Some civil servants who were removed from strategic posts by Kurtubi for supporting Narulita, attempted to sue him in the court.

About two weeks after the decision was released, Kurtubi resigned from his post as regent and was replaced by West Javanese government bureaucrat Asmudji H.W.
