{{Politics of Indonesia}}
The '''National Unity Cabinet''' ({{langx|id|Kabinet Persatuan Nasional}}) was the [[Indonesia]]n cabinet which served under President [[Abdurrahman Wahid]] and Vice President [[Megawati Sukarnoputri]] from 29 October 1999 until 23 July 2001. The Cabinet was formed after Wahid and Megawati were elected President and Vice President by the [[People's Consultative Assembly]] (MPR). The cabinet was originally designed to look after the interests of the various political parties and the [[Indonesian National Armed Forces]], but this notion quickly disappeared as Wahid's presidency began to break down.
