Administrative Districts

Muara Enim Regency was divided as at 2010 into twenty-two districts (kecamatan); however five of these districts (Talang Ubi, Penukal, Tanah Abang, Penukal Utara and Abab) were separated out from this Regency in 2013 to form the new Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir Regency. Howver, four additional districts (Panang Enim, Lubai Ulu, Belimbing and Belida Darat) have subsequently been created by the division of existing districts, while the former Rambang Dangku has been split into two new districts (Rambang Nuru and Empat Petulai Dangku). The resulting twenty-two districts, which are sub-divided into 255 administrative villages (rural desa and urban kelurahan), are listed below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census[6] and the 2020 Census,[7] together with the number of villages (rural desa and urban kelurahan) in each and their post code(s).
