Regional Representatives Council
- Regional Representatives Council
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 does not 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.
