Everything about The Regional Representatives Council totally explained
The
Regional Representatives Council, or
Dewan Perwakilan Daerah, abbr.
DPD is the upper house of the two
parliamentary chambers in
Indonesia.
The DPD was created by the Third Amendment to the 1945
Constitution of
Indonesia enacted 9 November 2001 in a move towards
bicameralism. The DPD doesn't have the revising powers of an
upper house like the
United States Senate. Article 22D restricts the DPD to dealing with bills on 'regional autonomy, the relationship of central and local government, formation, expansion and merger of regions, management of natural resources and other economic resources, and Bills related to the financial balance between the centre and the regions.'
The DPD can propose such bills to the DPR and must be heard on any regional bill proposed by the DPR. Each province elects 4 members to the DPD on a non-partisan basis, although many candidates in the April 2004 election had links to the parties represented in the
People's Representative Council, the
Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat or DPR.
A third legislative body, the
Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat (MPR) or
People's Consultative Assembly, comprises the members of the DPR and the DPD.
