Prabowo Subianto Prepares for Indonesian Presidency with Cabinet Expansion Plans

Prabowo aims to maintain political stability by forming a broad coalition, but risks inefficiency with a larger Cabinet.

  • Prabowo Subianto will be inaugurated as Indonesia's eighth president on October 20, following a landslide election victory.
  • He is considering expanding his Cabinet to include up to 46 ministers, potentially leading to coordination challenges.
  • Current Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati has been asked to join the new Cabinet, which could reassure international investors.
  • Prabowo seeks to form a coalition with the Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), which could eliminate opposition in parliament.
  • His presidency will focus on economic growth, foreign policy continuity, and addressing Indonesia's socio-economic challenges.
