The Semarang Regency Regional House of Representatives is the unicameral municipal legislature of Semarang Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. It has 50 members, who are elected every five years, simultaneously with the national legislative election.

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]

Members

In the 2024–2029 term, the DPRD had 50 members originating from 10 parties. The largest party, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), holds 18 seats.[4] Members are elected from five electoral districts. The most recent increase in member count was in 2019, when the number of seats was increased from 45 to 50.[5] The current speaker is Bondan Marutohening from PDI-P, who has served since September 2019 and was reelected for a second term as speaker in 2024.[1][6]
