Jakarta, IO – Gerindra Party executive chairman Sufmi Dasco Ahmad said President-elect Prabowo Subianto is still assembling his cabinet but expected it to be completed on October 15, five before he is due to be sworn in as Indonesia’s eight president, as per CNNIndonesia (30/9).
Dasco said that the nomenclature of ministries in the Prabowo-Gibran administration is still dynamic, as well as prospective ministers to join the cabinet. “Especially from political parties whose proportion is not much larger than professionals. Some may be confirmed, some may be stricken off,” he said.
Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka are scheduled to be installed on October 20. They will serve a five-year term until 2029.
