Bambang is running as a candidate for the People's Representative Council from East Java's 1st electoral district in the 2019 Indonesian legislative election.

In 2013, Bambang resigned from his office to participate in East Java's gubernatorial election, though he lost after winning just 12 percent of votes. Afterwards, he ran for a seat in East Java's Provincial Council, securing a seat after winning 60,510 votes – the highest in the city – and was sworn in on 31 August 2014. Bambang was assigned to briefly lead PDI-P's Jakarta office in 2016. During his time in the position, he publicly opposed the party's selection of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama as Jakarta's 2017 gubernatorial candidate. During the time, he was also head of electoral affairs in the party.

In 2013, he was designated as a suspect for a graft case he allegedly committed in 2010.

Before the expiry of his second term on 31 August 2010, Bambang ran as the running mate to Tri Rismaharini and the pair was successful, with Bambang being sworn as Rismaharini's deputy on 28 September 2010. After Rismaharini became mayor, she came up with a new spatial plan for the city which favoured rail-based transport over BRT systems, causing tension with Bambang.

In addition, during his mayorship, Bambang was also the president of the football club Persebaya, until he was sanctioned for 10 years by PSSI for asking the club to resign from the quarter-finals of the 2005 Copa Indonesia.

Early in his tenure, Surabaya's city council voted to fire Bambang on 11 July 2002, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Jakarta continued to recognise Bambang as the mayor of the city. He ran with PDI-P for the city's first direct mayoral election in 2005. After winning the election, Bambang was sworn in as mayor on 31 August 2005.

Aside from working as an educator, Bambang was active in PDI-P and he was one of the PDI-P cadres who recognised Megawati Sukarnoputri as the party's chairman during the 27 July 1996 incident. In 2000, Bambang was elected as the Vice Mayor of Surabaya with the re-elected Sunarto Sumoprawiro as Mayor. However, in early 2002, Sumoprawiro was removed by the city council for abstentions and Bambang became acting mayor until he was appointed as mayor formally on 10 June 2002.

Bambang Dwi Hartono (born 24 July 1961) is an Indonesian politician who is a member of East Java's Regional People's Representative Council. A member of PDI-P, Bambang was the Mayor of Surabaya between 2002 and 2010, sandwiched by his two terms as Vice Mayor.

Bambang was born in Tegalombo village, Pacitan Regency on 24 July 1961. He studied Mathematics at IKIP Semarang. He is married to Dyah Katarina – who had served in Surabaya's city council – and the couple has three children.
