Aceh House of Representatives

The Aceh House of Representatives (Indonesian: Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Aceh; Acehnese: Dèwan Peurwakilan Rakyat Acèh, lit.'People's Representatives Council of Aceh', abbreviated to DPR Aceh or DPRA) is the devolved unicameral legislature of the Indonesian province of Aceh. It has 81 members who are elected through general elections every five years, simultaneously with the national legislative election. Unlike other regional legislatures in Indonesia in general, it has unique characteristics according to the 2005 Aceh Provincial Government Act c. 11; such as the authority to name itself, the ability to determine the number of members (1¼ times more than ordinary regional legislatures), and the inclusion of Aceh's local parties.

The current members of the DPRA are the result of the 2024 general election who were inaugurated on September 30 2024 by the Banda Aceh High Court, Dr. H. Suharjono, S.H., M.Hum., at the Aceh DPR Main Building. The composition of the DPRA members for the 2024–2029 period consists of 13 political parties where Aceh Party has the most seats, namely 20 seats.

The DPRA meets in Aceh's capital city of Banda Aceh.

The DPRA was established in 1945, at that time it was called 'Regional National Committee' (KND). This was in accordance with the Transitional Regulations of the 1945 Constitution and followed by the Vice President's Decree dated October 16, 1945. The KND, which was first chaired by Tuanku Mahmud, continued by Mr. S. M. Amin, then changed its name to DPR in 1947.

The Aceh Residency was made a Province by the Deputy Prime Minister in accordance with PP No. 8 of 1948 on December 17, 1948 and the Aceh DPRD was established in accordance with PP No. 22 of 1948 from 1949–1950 with Tgk as Speaker. Abdul Wahab. However, the dissolution of Aceh Province in 1950 caused the DPRD to be dissolved.

Then Aceh Province was reborn in accordance with Law No. 24 of 1956. So the Transitional Regional House of Representatives DPRD was formed in 1957 with the first speaker Tgk. M. Abdul Syam who led until 1959. In and 1959–1961 it was chaired by Tgk. M. Ali Balwy.

Furthermore, in accordance with Presidential Decree No. 5 of 1960, the Mutual Cooperation People's Representative Council (DPRDGR) was formed in 1961–1964 chaired by the Governor of Aceh A. Hasjmy.

In accordance with Law No. 181 of 1965, the DPRDGR in 1965–1966 was chaired by Governor Nyak Adam Kamil, PD. The Speaker of the DPRD for the 1966–1968 period was Drs. Marzuki Nyak Man. The Speaker of the DPRD for the 1968–1971 period was H. M. Yasin.
