👉 1971 Indonesian legislative election in the context of People's Consultative Assembly
The People's Consultative Assembly of the Republic of Indonesia (Indonesian: Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat Republik Indonesia, MPR-RI) is the Supreme legislative body in Indonesia's political system. It is composed of the members of a lower body, the House of Representatives (DPR) and an upper body, the Regional Representative Council (DPD). Before 2004, and the amendments to the 1945 Constitution, the MPR was the Highest Governing Body in Indonesia.
In accordance with Law No. 16/1960, the assembly was formed after the general election in 1971. It was decided at that time that the membership of the Assembly would be twice that of the House.
