Indonesia's Jokowi Reshuffles Cabinet Ahead of Transition

President Joko Widodo makes strategic appointments to bolster incoming administration and ensure policy continuity.

Two opposition-linked ministers replaced with loyalists close to Jokowi and president-elect Prabowo Subianto.
Critics argue the reshuffle, occurring just two months before Jokowi steps down, is politically motivated.
Key appointments include new ministers for energy, investment, and law, aligned with Prabowo's agenda.
Analysts suggest the changes aim to secure Jokowi's influence post-presidency and facilitate a smooth transition.
Observers note the reshuffle's unusual timing, questioning its necessity so close to the end of Jokowi's term.
