Jakarta Regional House of Representatives

The Special Region of Jakarta Regional House of Representatives (Indonesian: Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah Provinsi Daerah Khusus Jakarta, abbreviated DPRD Jakarta) is the unicameral legislature of the Indonesian province of Jakarta. The Council is composed of 106 members elected via party lists in the 2014 legislative election.[1][2] Elections are held every five years and are conducted simultaneously with the nationwide legislative election.

It convenes in the DPRD Jakarta Building, Central Jakarta.

History

Under the Dutch East India Company's administration, a "College of Alderman" (Dutch: College van Schepenen) for Batavia was established on 24 July 1620.[3] There was also the College van Heemraden (polder board).[4] In 1905, a municipal body known as the Gemeenten Batavia was established,[5] which was renamed to Stadsgemeente Batavia in 1926. During the Japanese occupation, an advisory body existed since September 1943.[6]

Following Indonesian independence, a local representative body was established by the new Indonesian government, though it was dissolved shortly afterwards due to Dutch reoccupation of the city. After the transfer of sovereignty, a temporary elected council of 25 members was established in 1950, intended to be a temporary body although it ended up lasting until 1956, when new regulations on local legislation were issued.[6]

Structure

With 106 members, the council has one speaker and four deputy speakers. In addition, five commissions on separate topics exist:[7]
