History
The legislature for Semarang Regency was formed along with those of other regencies in Central Java under Law No. 13 of 1950, which organized regency governments within the province. They were formed sometime between September 1950 and January 1951 as provisional regional houses of representatives (DPRDS).[2] The first election to elect its members was in 1957, with the Indonesian Communist Party winning 18 out of 35 seats and Nahdlatul Ulama placing second with 12 seats.[3]
