List of current senators of the Regional Representative Council
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Regional Representative Council of Indonesia is the upper house of the People's Consultative Assembly, the legislative branch of the Indonesian government. Following the 2019 Indonesian legislative election, there were 136 seats within the assembly, all of which consisted of non-partisan members,[lower-alpha 1] each representing a province; 4 members were elected from each province. The total increased to 152 members for the 2024 Indonesian legislative election, due to the creation of an additional 4 provinces in 2022. The leader of the DPD is the Speaker, a position which is currently held by La Nyalla Mattalitti. In addition, the speaker is joined with three deputy speakers, namely Nono Sampono, Mahyudin, and Sultan Bachtiar Najamudin.[1]
Members of the DPD are known as senators, and are elected in a general election once every five years. Each province of Indonesia elects 4 senators to the DPD on a non-partisan basis, as the DPD represents the interests of their provinces rather than that of the parties, although many candidates had former affiliations with political parties. The following is a full and complete list of currently serving senators in the DPD, following the 2019 Indonesian general election, consisting of 136 senators, representing 34 provinces.
