Story

Central Lampung Regency is a regency of the province of Lampung, on Sumatra, Indonesia. On 20 April 1999, two areas were separated from the original regency - the southeastern portion was split off to form a separate East Lampung Regency (including all of the regency's former sea coast), while the town of Metro was created as an independent city. The reduced regency, now landlocked, has an area of 4,559.57 km2 and had a population of 1,170,048 people at the 2010 census and 1,460,045 at the 2020 census; the official estimate as of mid 2025 was 1,408,803 (comprising 717,830 males and 690,973 females), indicating a population decline since 2020. The regency seat is the town of Gunung Sugih.

In August 2009, a former senior regency official - Herman Hazbullah, former head of the Revenue and Financial Management Agency - was arrested for graft.
