2011 Election
Ratu Atut stood for election again in the 2011 provincial elections with Rano Karno as her running mate for deputy governor. She was supported by two of the largest political parties in Indonesia, Golkar and the PDI-P (Partai Demokrat Indonesia-Perjuangan), and won the election comfortably with 49.6% of the vote. Initially, the vote was challenged by the losing candidates. However in November 2011 the Constitutional Court rejected the challenges clearing the way for Ratu Atut to became governor of Banten for a second time. She was sworn into office for a five-year term 2012-2017 by minister of the interior Gamawan Fauzi on 11 January 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word election:
“The election makes me think of a story of a man who was dying. He had only two minutes to live, so he sent for a clergyman and asked him, “Where is the best place to go to?” He was undecided about it. So the minister told him that each place had its advantages—heaven for climate, and hell for society.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
