The Governor of West Java is the executive head of the West Java Province. He is responsible for running the government together with his deputy and members of the West Java Regional People's Representative Council as the legislative. The Governor of West Java is an elected politician who, along with the vice governor and 120 members of the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD), is accountable for the strategic government of the province of West Java.

History

Historically, the first governor of West Java was held by Sutardjo Kertohadikusumo who came from Central Java.{{Cite news |url=https://m.merdeka.com/politik/gubernur-pertama-jabar-orang-jawa-tulen-kantor-di-jakarta.html |title=Gubernur pertama Jabar, orang Jawa Tulen kantor di Jakarta |work=Merdeka.com |date=2013-02-24 |accessdate=2020-06-06 |language=id }} In the midst of the revolution, Sutardjo was replaced by Mohammad Djamin. Dualism of leadership also occurred during the reign of Ipik Gandamana, where Oja Somantri was elected and appointed as Kepala Daerah Swatantra Tingkat I in early January 1958.{{cite web |url=https://www.kompasiana.com/jurnalgemini/561d06e03f23bdc60b8b4569/oya-somantri-politisi-nasionalis-religus-di-jawa-barat-1950-an-sebuah-catatan-awal |title=Oya Somantri: Politisi Nasionalis-Religus di Jawa Barat 1950-an (Sebuah Catatan Awal) |work=Kompasiana |date=2015-10-23 |accessdate=2020-06-01 }} At that time, Oja served as Chairman of the West Java Transitional Regional People's Representative Council.
