Indonesian Leader Announces Cabinet Overhaul


(MENAFN) In a significant political shake-up, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto carried out a cabinet reshuffle on Monday, replacing five top officials and announcing the formation of a brand-new ministry focused on religious affairs.

Key changes include leadership shifts at the Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal and Security Affairs and the Ministry of Finance, both considered critical to national governance and economic stability. The changes signal a broader strategic reorganization within the administration ahead of major policy initiatives.

Notably, the government also confirmed the establishment of the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, aimed at enhancing the management of Islamic pilgrimages for Indonesian citizens—home to the world’s largest Muslim population.

In an official press release, Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi explained that the president's decision to reorganize several ministerial roles followed careful assessments and a range of strategic considerations.

The latest reshuffle reflects President Prabowo's intent to streamline government operations while addressing pressing administrative and religious service needs. Analysts view the timing as an effort to solidify leadership before the next legislative agenda cycle begins.

Further details regarding the names of newly appointed ministers and the scope of responsibilities for the new ministry are expected to be released in the coming days.
