The National Unity Cabinet (Indonesian: Kabinet Persatuan Nasional) was the Indonesian Cabinet which served under President Abdurrahman Wahid and Vice President Megawati Sukarnoputri from 26 October 1999 until 23 July 2001. The Cabinet was formed after Wahid and Megawati were elected President and Vice President by the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR). The Cabinet was originally designed to look after the interests of the various Indonesian Political Parties and the TNI but this notion quickly disappeared as Wahid's Presidency began to break down.
