Early life

Supriyono was born in Brebes Regency on 14 August 1980, the son of a successful local entrepreneur Muhadi Setiabudi.[1]

Career

edit

Between 2009 and 2014, Supriyono served in the legislature of Brebes Regency, where he was deputy speaker.[1] Supriyono was a member of Central Java's Provincial Council as part of the Democratic Party's faction in the 2014–2019 term, though he ran as Tegal's mayor during his tenure.[2] In the election, he won with 38,091 votes,[3] and he was sworn in on 23 March 2019.[4]

On 30 March 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia, Supriyono made a decision to implement a lockdown of Tegal, which restricted movement within the city as the city's government provided some support of food supplies to poorer residents.[5] The lockdown involved closing off of 49 access points into the city and the closure of public spaces, and was launched in response to a returning resident testing positive.[6]
