Said Assagaff (29 November 1953 – 30 November 2025) was an Indonesian politician who served as the 12th governor of Maluku from 2014 to 2019, with Zeth Sahuburua as his deputy governor. Prior to his tenure as governor he was Regional Secretary of Maluku, Deputy Governor of Maluku, and worked at the provincial government of Maluku.

Early life and education

Said Assagaff was born in Ambon, Maluku, Indonesia, on 29 November 1953. He graduated from college with a bachelor's degree in animal husbandry from Hasanuddin University, Makassar.[1][2]

In the 2013 election, Said was elected Governor of Maluku with Zeth Sahuburua as his deputy. Their campaign was supported by the Golkar, United Development, and Prosperous Justice parties.[4] The unemployment rate in Maluku declined from 18.44% in 2014, to 17.85% in 2018.[5] Murad Ismail defeated Said, with Anderias Rentanubun as his running mate in the 2018 Maluku gubernatorial election.[6] Regional Secretary of Maluku Hamin bin Thahir became acting governor after Said's term ended on 10 March 2019.[7]
