Background

Each province has its own local government, headed by a governor, and has its own legislative body. The governor and members of local representative bodies are elected by popular vote for five-year terms.

Current provinces

Indonesia has 34 provinces, eight of which have been created since 1999, namely: North Maluku, West Papua, Banten, Bangka Belitung Islands, Gorontalo, Riau Islands, West Sulawesi and (in late 2012) North Kalimantan.^[1]

Five provinces have special status:

• 
  Aceh, for the use of the sharia law as the regional law of the province.


• 
  Special Capital Region of Jakarta.


• 
  Special Region of Yogyakarta, has sultan Hamengkubuwono as hereditary Governor and Paduka Sri Pakualam as hereditary vice-governor.


• 
  Papua, for granting implementation of sustainable development.


• 
  West Papua, for granting implementation of sustainable development.

The provinces are officially grouped into seven geographical units.^[2]

Proposed future provinces

A considerable number of new provinces have been proposed in addition to the 34 existing provinces of Indonesia.^[9] As of 2013, the government has targeted the creation of eight new provinces by 2020,^[10] by splitting several of the existing provinces.

Region	English name of proposed new province	Indonesian name of proposed new province	Source province (currently containing this area)
Sumatra	Tapanuli	Tapanuli	North Sumatra
Sumatra	Nias Islands	Kepulauan Nias	North Sumatra
Lesser Sunda Islands	Sumbawa Island[11]	Pulau Sumbawa	West Nusa Tenggara
Kalimantan	Great Kapuas	Kapuas Raya	West Kalimantan
Sulawesi	Great Bolaang Mongondow	Bolaang Mongondow Raya	North Sulawesi
Western New Guinea	Southwest Papua[12]	Papua Barat Daya	West Papua
Western New Guinea	Central Papua[13][14]	Papua Tengah	Papua
Western New Guinea	South Papua[15]	Papua Selatan	Papua

On 25 October 2013, the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR) began reviewing draft laws on the establishment of 57 prospective regencies and 8 new provinces. The latter consist of the eight areas mentioned above – Kapuas Raya will comprise the five most easterly regencies of the present West Kalimantan province, and Bolaang Mongondow Raya will comprise the southern half of the present North Sulawesi province. In the same week, the House, at its last plenary meeting of the year, approved the creation of another seven new regencies – Mahakam Ulu (East Kalimantan), Malaka (East Nusa Tenggara), Central Mamuju (West Sulawesi), Banggai Laut (Central Sulawesi), Tailabu Island (North Maluku), Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir (South Sumatra) and East Kolaka (Southeast Sulawesi).^[10]

In addition, a variety of other new provinces (or province-level administrations) have been proposed:

Region	English name	Indonesian name	Source province
Sumatra	Central Sumatra	(Provinsi) Sumatera Tengah	Riau
Maluku	South Maluku (Province)	(Provinsi) Maluku Selatan	Maluku
Western New Guinea	Biak Islands (Province)	(Provinsi) Kepulauan Biak	Papua

   ^ West Papua was created from the western portion of Papua province in February, 2003, initially under the name of Irian Jaya Barat, and was renamed Papua Barat (West Papua) on 2007-02-07. The split remains controversial. In November 2004, an Indonesian court agreed that the split violated Papua's autonomy laws. However, the court ruled that because the new province had already been created, it should remain separate from Papua. The ruling also prohibited the creation of another proposed province, Central Irian Jaya, because the split was not yet completed. As of June, 2008, an ISO 3166-2 code has not yet been published for West Papua. If one were to follow precedent, it would be ID-PB. Note: ISO 3166-2 Newsletter II-1 (corrected 2010-02-19) page 18-19 confirms this as ID-PB. See http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_3166-2_newsletter_ii-1_corrected_2010-02-19.pdf . The code ID-IJ now refers to the larger geographical region including Papua and West Papua.

Afterwards, the suspension has not been lifted until the present day. Some members of the Surakarta Royal Family have filed judicial review to the Constitutional Court of Indonesia in 2013, but it was eventually rejected because of their legal standing
