An indirect presidential election took place in Indonesia on 10 March 1998. President Suharto was unanimously elected to a seventh term by the People's Consultative Assembly along with new Vice-President BJ Habibie.[1] Despite the election, which took place during the height of the 1998 financial crisis, Suharto was forced to resign that May, just two months into what was to have been a five-year term.
