Eddy Santana Putra (born 20 January 1957) is an Indonesian politician who is currently a member of the House of Representatives, and was the mayor of Palembang between 2003 and 2013. He was a member of PDI-P until 2018, when he moved to Gerindra. Originating from Pangkal Pinang, he was elected as mayor of Palembang through both a city council vote and direct popular vote.

Background[edit]

Eddy Santana Putra was born in Pangkal Pinang, South Sumatra (today Bangka Belitung Islands) on 20 January 1957.[1] After completing high school at Xaverius 1 High School, he went to Sriwijaya University, from which he earned a bachelors of civil engineering and a masters of engineering.[2][3][4]

Career[edit]

Before entering politics, Eddy was a civil servant at South Sumatra provincial government's public works department.[5]

Mayor[edit]

Eddy first became the mayor of Palembang following a vote by the city council in 2003.[6] In Palembang's first direct mayoral election in 2008, Eddy ran for a second term with PDI-P's support and Romi Herton as his running mate, winning with 335,591 votes (51%).[7]

In addition, he ran as a candidate for PDI-P's provincial leadership in the party's 2005 South Sumatra congress, despite then being a member of Golkar.[8] He eventually served two terms in that position.[9]

During his tenure as mayor, he established the Trans Musi [id], a bus rapid transit system operating in the city.[10] ASEAN gave the city a "Clean Land for Big Cities" recognition during its 2nd Environmentally Sustainable Cities Award in November 2011.[11]

His second term expired on 21 July 2013, and he was succeeded by Romi Herton.[12] He ran for governorship of South Sumatra in the 2013 gubernatorial election, but placed third behind incumbent governor Alex Noerdin and East Ogan Komering Ulu regent Herman Deru.[13]

Post-mayorship[edit]

In the 2018 mayoral election for Palembang, Eddy opposed the incumbent candidate Harnojoyo against his party PDI-P's position.[14] He later quit the party and joined Gerindra, running in the 2019 legislative election as a People's Representative Council candidate from South Sumatra's 1st electoral district.[15][16] He won 64,397 votes - the most in the district - and secured a seat.[17] He ran for a second term in the 2024 election but was not reelected.[18] He has indicated his desire to run in South Sumatra's gubernatorial election in 2024.[19]

Personal life[edit]

He was married to Srimaya Hariyanti until 2011, when divorce proceedings were filed and the case was brought up to the Supreme Court of Indonesia. Eddy later remarried Eva Ajeng, a model. Eddy and Srimaya had two children.[20]
