Yudas Sabaggalet (born 24 February 1964)[1] is an Indonesian politician. A member of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), he served two terms as the regent of the Mentawai Islands Regency from 2011 to 2016 and 2017 to 2022. He served as vice regent for the regency from 2006 to 2011 and was a member of the parliament created in 1999.[1]
Yudas was born in Madubak Ugai, a village in South Siberut, Mentawai Islands, as the youngest of three siblings of a farmer. He lost his father when he was five years old, and spent his childhood and early education on a local elementary school. He helped his family work on the field until the third year. He then attended a private school in Muara Siberut, where he graduated in 1977.[1]
Yudas moved to Padang and finished his junior and senior secondary education in 1985. After a year, while working in a Coca-Cola factory, he went to Universitas Bung Hatta, at West Sumatra, and got a bachelor's degree in 1994.[1] He also went to Gadjah Mada University in 1995, but left for Bogor without finishing his education. After the 1997 Asian financial crisis, Yudas returned to West Sumatra in 1998, started politics and continued his master's degree at Andalas University until he graduated in 2005. He was a lecturer at Taman Siswa University's faculty of economy in Padang since 2001.[1] He received a doctorate in development study from Andalas University in 2023.[2]
