Megawati Setiawati Soekarnoputri (born January 23, 1947), was President of Indonesia from July 2001 to October 20, 2004. She was the country's first female President.
On September 20 she lost her campaign for re-election in the 2004 Indonesian presidential election.
Note that Sukarnoputri means "daughter of Sukarno"(Sanskrit) and it is not the President's surname: Javanese do not have surnames. She is simply referred to as Megawati or Mega.
Her name is derived from Sanskrit meghavatī = "she who has a cloud", i.e. a raincloud, as rain is needed to make food crops grow, and it was raining when she was born.
