Biography
He served as the mayor of Banjarbaru, a major city in South Kalimantan, from February 2016 until his death in office in August 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia.[1]
In contrast to some Indonesian officials, Adhani reacted strongly to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.
Mayor Adhani tested positive for COVID-19 on 27 July 2020.[1] That same day, Adhani released a 2-minute video posted to Instagram warning Banjarbaru's residents to take the COVID-19 seriously.[1][2] His wife, Ririn Kartika Rini, also tested positive for COVID-19. Both were isolated in Ulin Regional General Hospital.[1] Adhani announced that deputy mayor Darmawan Jaya Setiawan would oversee the city's administration during his treatment.[2]
Mayor Nadjmi Adhani died from complications of COVID-19 at Ulin Regional General Hospital in Banjarbaru at 2:30 A.M. on 10 August 2020, after two weeks in isolation.[1] He was 50 years old.[1][3]
