Source-derived summary

Irmawan is an Indonesian politician and a member of the Indonesian House of Representatives since 2014. He represents the Aceh I constituency, and is currently serving in the DPR's Commission V overseeing infrastructures, transportation, and underdeveloped regions.

A member of the National Awakening Party (PKB), Irmawan is the Chairman of the Aceh PKB Regional Executive Board and also sits on the party's central leadership council as its Secretary of Energy and Natural Resources.

Early life

Born on December 21, 1967, in Southeast Aceh Regency, Aceh, Irmawan is of Gayo ethnicity. He earned his undergraduate degree in Political Science from Medan Area University in 2000, followed by a Master of Management degree in 2003.

Prior to entering politics, Irmawan served as a civil servant for 14 years (1994-2008). He began his bureaucratic career with the Southeast Aceh Regency government, later transferring to the newly established Gayo Lues Regency when it was split off from Southeast Aceh in 2002.

Political career

Irmawan entered politics in 2007 when he ran for regent in Gayo Lues' first regent election but was unsuccessful. In 2008, he ended his civil service career.

In 2009, he was elected to the Aceh House of Representatives as a PKB representative and became Chairman of the PKB Aceh Regional Board the same year.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Irmawan” is indonesian politician. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Irmawan, Indonesian and politician, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2014, 1967, 2000, 2003—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1967-12-21. For this dossier, Irmawan, Indonesian and politician is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “indonesian politician” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q121492950. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2014, 1967, 2000 and 2003.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Read biographical claims against dates, named institutions and the cited references. Distinguish a subject’s later reputation from evidence produced during their lifetime.
