Source-derived summary

Ida Mahmudah (born 3 August 1967) is an Indonesian politician of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle who currently serves as a member of the Jakarta Regional House of Representatives. She has served in the legislature for three terms, starting in 2009.

Biography

Ida was born in Semarang, Central Java on 3 August 1967. She was first elected into Jakarta's legislature after the 2009 election, when she won 7,809 votes. She was sworn in on 25 August 2009. In her first term in the legislature, she chaired one of its commissions. She was reelected in the 2014 election. After her second reelection in 2019, she was considered by her party as a candidate for the legislature's speaker alongside Gembong Warsono and Prasetyo Edi Marsudi. Prasetyo eventually was appointed.

In February 2023, Ida proposed that the Kemayoran Athletes Village – a complex developed by the central government initially for the 2018 Asian Games and later repurposed to house patients during the COVID-19 pandemic until December 2022 – be taken over by the Jakarta Government in order to repurpose it into low-cost housing and a children's hospital.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Ida Mahmudah” as indonesian politician (born 1967 in Semarang). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1967, 2009, 2014, 2019—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1967-08-03. The account is most persuasive where Mahmudah, Indonesian and politician can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as indonesian politician (born 1967 in Semarang). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 6, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q123876621. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1967, 2009, 2014 and 2019.

Critical limits

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
