=== Possibility as president ===
According to historian, author, and academic, [[Robert Elson]], in his book ''Suharto: A Political Biography'', Suharto groomed Sudharmono to be his ideal successor.{{sfn|Elson|2001| pp = 258-260}} However, the selection of Sudharmono as vice president caused a rift in Golkar, between the civil and military factions. Though Sudharmono himself was a soldier and had ended his career with the rank of [[Lieutenant General]], he was disliked by the military because he had spent much of his career behind the desk instead of leading troops on the ground.{{sfn|Harahap|2020}} This, along with the military's backlash against Sudharmono during the [[People's Consultative Assembly#1988 General Session|1988 MPR general session]], resulted in Suharto raising [[B. J. Habibie]] as his protege, instead of Sudharmono.{{sfn|Elson|2001| pp = 258-260}}
