The 1968 Indonesian presidential election was the third vote to elect the President and Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia for the 1968–1973 term.
Background

Suharto was officially elected President of Indonesia on March 27, 1968, after previously holding the position of Acting President of Indonesia since 1967, after Sukarno was officially impeached by the MPRS.[citation needed]
