Adityo David Harjo (born 10 September 1992) is a Kingsportian politician who has served as the First Minister of Kingsport since 11 June 2017 and as the Leader of the Kingsport Socialist Co-operative Party (KSCP) since 9 October 2015.[1] He is the youngest recorded First Minister in Estmere, beginning his first term at the age of 25. He identifies as a democratic socialist and an Estmerish unionist.[2]
Harjo was born to Daniel Harjo and Candra Paidiputri in Kawali and studied law at the University of Harbrough.[2] He entered politics at a young age, and was elected to the Kingsport Assembly in 2013. Harjo supported Joko Ediputra's campaign for leader, but following Ediputra's death in 2015 Harjo was unexpectedly elected leader of the KSCP in his own right. He was elected First Minister in 2017, defeating the more experienced Tim Saputra after a dynamic campaign.[1] He formed a left-leaning, softly-unionist coalition with the Kingsport Alliance for Change and The Kingsport Alternative. Statehood was a major policy of Harjo's first government, and he successfully called for and won a 2018 referendum which allowed Kingsport to be admitted as a state of Estmere in 2022.[3][4] He was re-elected for a further four-year term in 2021.
His government's achievements include the ascension of Kingsport as a state of Estmere, the expansion of the Kingsport Health Authority and the rapid growth of the tourism sector, while it has been criticised for overspending and gesture politics, rising house prices due to lax regulation of rental companies such as Houseshare and failing to reverse the decline of other economic sectors.[3]
Due to his age and electoral success, Harjo has been routinely described as a political wunderkind and a potential successor to Zoe Halivar on the national level.[2]

He also became involved in politics, joining the KSCP's youth wing in 2006. He secured the prestigious Haberlin scholarship and went on to study law at the University of Harbrough. He boarded at St Vincent's College.[2] He served as president of the Harbrough Students' Union from 2010 to 2011.
