The 2024 Bandar Lampung mayoral election was held on 27 November 2024 as part of nationwide local elections to elect the mayor and vice mayor of Bandar Lampung for a five-year term. The previous election was held in 2020. Mayor Eva Dwiana won a landslide re-election, securing 74% of the vote. She defeated Reihana, a former head of the Bandar Lampung Health Department, who received 25%.
The election, like other local elections in 2024, follow the first-past-the-post system where the candidate with the most votes wins the election, even if they do not win a majority. [1] It is possible for a candidate to run uncontested, in which case the candidate is still required to win a majority of votes "against" an "empty box" option. Should the candidate fail to do so, the election will be repeated on a later date. [2]
According to electoral regulations, in order to qualify for the election, candidates were required to secure support from a political party or a coalition of parties controlling 10 seats (20 percent of all seats) in the Bandar Lampung Regional House of Representatives (DPRD). [3] With 10 seats, the Gerindra Party is the only party eligible to nominate a mayoral candidate without forming a coalition with other parties. [4] Candidates may alternatively demonstrate support to run as an independent in form of photocopies of identity cards, which in Bandar Lampung's case corresponds to 59,260 copies. According to the General Elections Commission, no independent candidates registered or expressed interest in running by the set deadline. [5]
The following are individuals who have either been publicly mentioned as a potential candidate by a political party in the DPRD, publicly declared their candidacy with press coverage, or considered as a potential candidate by media outlets:
