Background

Cellica was born in Bandung on 18 July 1980. After completing highschool in Bandung, she earned a bachelors in medicine from Maranatha Christian University and a masters in health law from Soegijapranata Catholic University.[1]

She is divorced with a single child.[2] According to Cellica, her name was based of the Toyota Celica car, which her parents bought on the year of her birth.[3]

Career

Before holding political office, she had served as director in several companies.[2] She also featured in the 2011 film Surat Kecil Untuk Tuhan, taking on a minor role as a doctor treating the main character.[4]

Politics

After being elected to the West Java Provincial Council in the 2009 election, she was sworn in on 5 August 2009.[1][5]

In 2010 local election, she ran as a running mate to Ade Swara and won, securing 38.8% of the votes in a five-way race and defeating incumbent Sonny Gersona.[6] They were sworn in on 27 December 2010, although Cellica's replacement in the council was not appointed until June the following year.[7][8]

After Ade was arrested and charged for corruption and money laundering, Cellica was made acting regent in 24 December 2014, and remained so until the end of her term in December 2015.[9][10] In the 2015 local election, she secured a slim majority (51.06%, 533,240 votes) in the six-candidate race with Ahmad Zamaksyari as running mate.[11] She was officially sworn in by governor Ahmad Heryawan on 17 February 2016.[12]

As regent, Cellica promoted vertical housing in the regency in order to reduce land use, with agricultural land already pressured by the expansion of industry.[13] In 2018, she and her deputy entered a spat over mutation of hundreds of regency officials, with the latter declaring an intent to run against her in the 2021 local election.[14]

During a book launch in March 2016, she gave a speech which resulted in the leader of the local branch of the Islamic Defenders Front threatening to kidnap her. The issue was latter clarified and resolved as an error by a local media in quoting her.[15]
