History

While under Dutch control since 1821, Palembang did not have a colonial municipal government until 1906, with the city being run by the Palembang Residency. The city council (Gemeenteraad) was created in 1906, and it initially had 13 members – eight Europeans, 3 Native Indonesians, and 2 representatives of other Asian communities. These initial 13 members would serve until 1919, when Palembang's mayor was appointed and he took leadership of the city council. After 1919, five-year terms were introduced. [1] Membership of the council was gradually increased, with 15 members in 1919 and 19 in 1923. [2]

Early in the Indonesian National Revolution, Republican authorities in Palembang formed a regional house of representatives with 30 members. [3] Returning Dutch forces took control of Palembang, and in 1948 incorporated it within the federal State of South Sumatra. [4] In 1956, an emergency law gave Palembang the status of a "large city", and set the number of legislators in the regional house of representatives to 25. [5] There were 40 councillors after the 1971 election, including six representatives of the Indonesian National Armed Forces, [6] and 45 councillors after the 1977 election. [7]

Building

During the Dutch colonial period, the city council was based in what is today the Palembang Mayoral Office. [8] In 1977, the council moved into a purpose built legislative building, [7] and moved again in 2010 into a newer building. [9] The newer building, built on a 2-hectare plot at a cost of Rp 66.8 billion, was claimed to be the "most luxurious" of Indonesian municipal legislature buildings. By 2011, local media outlet Sriwijaya Post  [ id ] had reported significant deterioration to the building's interior. [10]

Composition

For the 2024 Indonesian legislative election, 50 members will be elected into the legislature from six multi-member electoral districts. [11] The current speaker is Zainal Abidin of the Democratic Party, who was elected on 30 September 2019. [12]
