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.
