On 27 March 1968, the Provisional People's Consultative Assembly (MPRS), the legislative branch of Indonesia, met to elect the president of the country for the 1968–1973 term. It was the third presidential election in Indonesia after the 1945 and 1963 elections. Suharto was officially elected president on 27 March 1968 for a five-year term after previously holding the position of acting president since 1967, when Sukarno was officially impeached and removed by the MPRS.[1][2] Suharto was officially sworn in on the same day, marking the formal beginning of his first five-year term as president.[3]
