The representatives of the people, namely members of the House of Representatives and the Regional Representative Council (DPR-DPD), are generally much richer than their constituents.

This is evident from the report "Republic of Oligarchs: Economic Inequality in Indonesia 2026" released by the Center of Economic and Law Studies (Celios).

According to Celios, the most extreme wealth gap between the political elite and the general public was recorded in Gorontalo.

In 2025, the average wealth of DPR-DPD members in Gorontalo reached Rp222 billion, while the average wealth of local residents was Rp274 million.

Thus, the average wealth of representatives in Gorontalo is about 810 times greater than that of their constituents.

Similar situations occurred in other provinces, as detailed in the chart.

"If we look at almost all provinces, the pattern is the same - the wealth of representatives is hundreds of times greater than that of the people they represent," said Celios.

"This means that those who sit in parliament are not representatives of ordinary people, but representatives of the super-rich class," they continued.

Celios stated that this inequality does not necessarily indicate a violation of the law, but reflects the structure of the political elite in Indonesia.

"When policy-makers are dominated by very established economic groups, questions arise about the extent to which policies truly represent the interests of the general public," they said.
