Administrative Districts

Muara Enim Regency was divided as at 2000 into twenty-eight districts (kecamatan); however, six of these districts - Rambang Kapak Tengah (Central Rambang Kapak), Prabumulih Timur (East Prabumulih), Prabumulih Selatan (South Prabumulih), Prabumulih Barat (West Prabumulih), Prabumulih Utara (North Prabumulih) qnd Cambai - were separated from the regency on 21 June 2001 to create the independent city (kota) of Prabumulih, and another five of these districts - Talang Ubi, Penukal, Tanah Abang, Penukal Utara and Abab - were separated out from the regency on 14 December 2012 to form the new Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir Regency. Subsequently, four additional districts (Panang Enim, Lubai Ulu, Belimbing and Belida Darat) were created by the division of existing districts, while the former Rambang Dangku was split into two new districts (Rambang Nuru and Empat Petulai Dangku). Finally in 2022 another new regency - Rambang Lubai Lematang Regency - was created to consist of the six districts of Rambang, Lubai, Lubai Ulu, Belimbing, Rambang Niru and Empat Petulai Dangku.

The resulting twenty-two districts (including the six now in the new Rambang Lubai Lematang Regency) are listed below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census [2] and the 2020 Census, [3] together with the official estimates as at mid 2022. [1] The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, together with the number of villages in each district (comprising 245 rural desa and 10 urban kelurahan), and their post code(s). The topography of the regency comprised a southern group of five districts with an altitude of over 100 metres above sea level in the Bukit Barisan mountain chain, a west-central group of five districts, an east-central group of six districts (those split off in late 2022), and a northern group of six districts of mainly swamp area facing directly with the Musi River basin, which (since the creation of the Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir Regency in 2013) are physically separated from the rest of the Muara Enim Regency by the city of Prabumulih.
