During the first direct presidential elections in Indonesia in 2004, Agum was selected as a vice presidential candidate. He joined the incumbent vice president
Hamzah Haz as a running mate. The Hamzah – Agum team was supported by the
United Development Party.
In the first round of the election (July 5, 2004), the Hamzah – Agum team received relatively low support (only 3.5 million votes). These results put the duo into fifth place on in the 2004 Indonesian presidential elections behind
SBY –
Jusuf Kalla,
Megawati Sukarnoputri –
Hasyim Muzadi,
Wiranto –
Solahuddin Wahid and
Amien Rais –
Siswono Yudohusodo. The Hamzah – Agum team was therefore eliminated and was not eligible to take place in second round of the election held several months later.

Agum was unsuccessful with the Agum – Nu'man duo taking second place behind
Ahmad Heryawan –
Yusuf Macan Effendie team from coalition of the
Prosperous Justice Party and
National Mandate Party.
