The following is a list of current governors of the Indonesian provinces.
Contents
Indonesia is administratively divided into thirty-eight provincial-level subjects: twenty-nine regular provinces, seven special autonomous provinces (Aceh, Central Papua, Highland Papua, Papua, South Papua, Southwest Papua, West Papua), one special (istimewa) region (Special Region of Yogyakarta), and one special (khusus) region (the outgoing Special Capital Region of Jakarta). [1] There is also one future provincial-level city (the future Capital City of Nusantara), which would officially become the 39th province after the enactment of a presidential decree on the new state capital. [2]
The Capital City of Nusantara is headed by a national cabinet ministerial-level authority head appointed directly by the president, concurrently serving as governor for five-year terms independently from cabinet terms, and the province does not have a legislative body. While the Special Region of Yogyakarta has its own legislative body, the province is headed by the Sultan of Yogyakarta who reigns for life (divided into five-year terms for ceremonial purposes). Other provinces have their own local government, headed by a governor, and have their own legislative body. The governors and members of local representative bodies are elected by popular vote for five-year terms.
