Nadjmi Adhani (September 27, 1969 – August 10, 2020) was an Indonesian politician and civil servant. He served as the Mayor of Banjarbaru, a major city in South Kalimantan, from February 2016 until his death in office in August 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia.[1]

In contrast to some Indonesian officials, Adhani reacted strongly to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.[1] He was one of the first mayors in Indonesia to enact penalties for those ignoring COVID-19 safety protocols, such as wearing a facemask.[1] Notably, he initially required violators to do push-ups as punishment, before transitioning to less controversial monetary fines.[1]

Mayor Adhani tested positive for COVID-19 on July 27, 2020.[1] That same day, Adhani released a 2-minute video posted to Instagram warning Banjarbaru's residents to take the COVID-19 seriously.[1][2] His wife, Ririn Kartika Rini, also tested positive for COVID-19. Both were isolated in Ulin Regional General Hospital.[1] Adhani announced that deputy mayor Darmawan Jaya Setiawan would oversee the city's administration duuring his treatment.[2]

Mayor Nadjmi Adhani died from complications of COVID-19 at 2:30 A.M. on August 10, 2020, at Ulin Regional General Hospital in Banjarbaru after two weeks in isolation.[1] He was 50 years old.[1][3]
