=== Tenure === As vice president, Sudharmono was reported to be extremely active in governing.{{sfn|Bach|2019}} He issued a policy to form Tromol Pos 5000 as a means of monitoring the community and he began to consolidate politics by visiting the provinces, departments (ministries), State Offices, and other institutions. He also held a Supervision Coordination Meeting annually.{{sfn|Harahap|2020}} Meanwhile, ABRI continued to show their displeasure at Sudharmono's election as vice president. At the Golkar National Conference in 1988, which occurred from 20β25 October 1988, to elect a new chairman, ABRI got their revenge against Sudharmono when they secured the election of [[Wahono]] as chairman.{{sfn|Effendy|Thohari|Novianto|Nubowo|2012| p = 265}} The election of Wahono as chairman was the first time in which ABRI demonstrated their political power against Suharto, and resulted in the comeback of ABRI into the Golkar political machine, as the civil and bureaucratic wing of the party (the main supporters of Sudharmono) floundered.{{sfn|Effendy|Thohari|Novianto|Nubowo|2012| p = 266}} Ahead of the MPR's 1993 [[People's Consultative Assembly#1988 General Session|General Session]], before any other maneuver by any other faction within the MPR, ABRI had already made its move. Two weeks before the session, the chairman of the ABRI faction of Golkar, Harsudiono Hartas, announced that ABRI had nominated [[Try Sutrisno]] as vice president. This nomination blindsided [[Suharto]], Sudharmono, and even [[Try Sutrisno]] himself, who was not notified of his nomination.{{sfn|Wahyono|2018}} In theory, MPR faction members were allowed to nominate their candidates for vice president. But in practice, there was an unwritten rule, where factions had to wait for the president to nominate his chosen candidate.{{sfn|Lane|1993}} Members from the [[United Development Party]] (PPP) and the [[Indonesian Democratic Party]] (PDI) quickly approved of Try's nomination, while [[Golkar]] struggled to tell its members that Golkar had not nominated Try as vice president. Suharto was furious that ABRI had pre-empted him, but did not want an open dispute with its delegation in the assembly. This led to an uneasy truce, where Suharto accepted Try as vice president. It has been speculated that, if Try Sutrisno hadn't been nominated, then Suharto would've chosen either Sudharmono or [[B. J. Habibie]] as vice president.{{sfn|Lane|1993}}
