Umbu Lili Pekuwali (born 1 April 1973) is an Indonesian politician of the Golkar party who has served as the regent of East Sumba, East Nusa Tenggara since February 2025. He had previously been East Sumba’s vice regent under regent Gidion Mbilijora between 2016 and 2021.
Umbu Lili Pekuwali was born on 1 April 1973 in Waingapu, East Sumba. He completed his basic education at state-funded schools in Waingapu, graduating from Waingapu State High School No. 1 (SMAN 1 Waingapu) in 1991. He then moved to Yogyakarta where he studied at the Atma Jaya University and received a bachelor’s degree in 1998. He later also received a master’s degree from Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology in Surabaya in 2005.[1]
After completing his studies at Atma Jaya, Pekuwali worked for the regency government of East Sumba.[1] In 2015, Gidion Mbilijora selected Pekuwali as his running mate in the 2015 regency election, and the pair was elected with 54.85% of the votes.[2] Pekuwali was sworn in as vice regent on 17 February 2016.[3] In 2020, Pekuwali ran in the regency election to succeed Mbilijora, but he was defeated by Khristofel Praing.[4]
In the 2024 East Sumba regency election, Pekuwali made another bid for regent, this time defeating Praing after winning 66,293 votes (47.5%) in the three-way race.[5] Pekuwali was sworn in as regent on 20 February 2025.[6]
Pekuwali is a Protestant Christian.[1] He is married to Diana Novita Rambu Bangi Ata.[7] They both contracted COVID-19 shortly after Pekuwali’s loss in the 2020 election, as East Sumba’s 35th and 36th detected cases respectively.[8]
