Mohan Roliskana (born 16 November 1972) is an Indonesian politician of the Golkar party and former civil servant who has been the mayor of Mataram,West Nusa Tenggara since 2021. He had previously served as the city's vice-mayor between 2010 and 2020,and had worked for the city's government between 1999 and 2010 during his father's terms as mayor.
Mohan Roliskana was born in the city of Mataram on 16 November 1972. His father,Mohammad Ruslan,was a politician of the Golkar party who had served as mayor of the city for two terms,between 1999–2004 and 2005–2010. Roliskana studied in Mataram's public schools until completing high school in 1991,before moving to Yogyakarta where he studied for a communications degree at Atma Jaya University. He graduated in 1998. [1] He later received a master's (2007) and a doctorate (2024) in law from the University of Mataram. [1] [2]
After graduating from Atma Jaya,Roliskana briefly worked as an account executive in Surabaya before returning to Mataram in 1999 to work as a municipal employee under his father's mayoralship. Between 2005 and 2010,he was working in the city's parks department in billboard-related work. By 2010,upon the expiry of his father's second term,Roliskana ran as the running mate of Ahyar Abduh in the city's 2010 election and was elected,being sworn in on 10 August 2010. They were reelected for a second term in 2015,and was sworn in for a second term on 17 February 2016. [1]
In 2020,as Abduh reached the end of his second term,Roliskana ran for mayor in the 2020 mayoral election with Mujiburrahman as running mate. The pair received the backing of Golkar,Nasdem,PPP,and PBB,and won the four-way mayoral race with 78,407 votes (38.4%).

During his campaigns for the 2020 election,Roliskana promised to improve access to capital of the city's small and medium enterprises. However,by 2022,there had been limited implementation,resulting in criticism from city legislators.
