Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has announced a 48-member Cabinet, the largest in recent history, reflecting his aim to prioritize policy continuity and political stability. The team comprises politicians, professionals, and business managers, including individuals close to campaign financiers.
The list of 48 ministers announced by Indonesia n President Prabowo Subianto features a mix of politicians, professionals and business managers.
This approach is expected to boost the administration’s legitimacy and reduce potential tensions among political elites, said Mr Rudy Syamsuddin, a former chairman of a housing material producers’ association in Indonesia. Mr Prabowo has been huddled for weeks with his close aides and key donors such as tycoon Andi Syamsuddin Arsyad to shortlist names for his Cabinet team.The last time Indonesia had a Cabinet of more than 40 ministers was from 1993 to 1998, in the last term of former president Suharto. The law on ministry affairs in 2008 capped the number of ministers at 34, but this was scrapped in May.
The trio will be chiefly in charge of boosting the country’s industrial development, among other areas, by leveraging its mineral wealth, which is crucial to the electric vehicle industry.
