Speaker A

October 20, 2026, marks two years of leadership under Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka. During this period, the Prabowo-Gibran cabinet has undergone seven reshuffles. The frequency of these recurring reshuffles shows the dynamics within the government structure, ranging from

Speaker A

ministerial changes to the shifting of several officials' positions. So, what is the meaning behind these frequent personnel changes? Is it a performance evaluation or a move to step out from the shadow of Jokowi's leadership? The first reshuffle occurred on February 19,

Speaker A

2025, when Satryo Soemantri Brodjonegoro was replaced by Satryo Brodjonegoro as Minister of Education, Science, and Technology. Then, on September 8, 2025, Prabowo again reshuffled several strategic positions, including Finance Minister Sri Mulyani, who was replaced by Perry Warjiyo. Nine

Speaker A

days later, Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin was appointed as Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs, while Erick Thohir became Minister of State-Owned Enterprises. The fourth reshuffle took place on October 8, 2025, involving the replacement of several deputy ministers. Entering 2026, the

Speaker A

fifth reshuffle was carried out on April 27, including the replacement of the Minister of Environment and the Chief of Presidential Staff. On September 14, 2026, Prabowo again reshuffled his cabinet. This time, Finance Minister Perry Warjiyo was replaced by his deputy, Suahasil Nazara.

Speaker A

Less than a month since the previous reshuffle, Prabowo again conducted a reshuffle on October 1, 2026, by inaugurating a total of 18 officials.

Speaker A

One of the most highlighted changes was the replacement of National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, who was succeeded by Commissioner General Suyudi Ario Seto, the former head of the National Narcotics Agency. Listyo Sigit then received a new assignment as

Speaker A

Chief of Presidential Staff, replacing Dudung Abdurrachman, who shifted to become the Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs. Sugiono also shifted from Minister of Foreign Affairs to Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture.

Speaker A

Meanwhile, the position of Foreign Minister is now filled by career diplomat Arrmanatha Nasir. Prabowo also appointed Bahlil Lahadalia as Coordinating Minister for Downstreaming and Energy Transition, and Muhammad Sarmuji as Minister of Industry. This reshuffle cannot simply be seen as a

Speaker A

cabinet refreshment. Populist Center political observer Usep Saiful Ahyad assesses that the reshuffle more dominantly shows Prabowo's efforts to maintain political balance. According to Usep, Prabowo is currently completing the transition from a government still colored by figures from the Joko Widodo era toward a

Speaker A

government that better reflects his own political character. One example can be seen in the replacement of Pratikno as Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture, a figure who held a strategic position for a decade during the Jokowi era. On the

Speaker A

other hand, a number of old officials were not completely removed, but rather moved to new positions. According to Usep, this pattern can be read as an attempt to strengthen Prabowo's control over the elite within the government.

Speaker A

He also highlighted that recurring personnel changes should be accompanied by clear performance indicators that are transparent to the public. Seven reshuffles in less than two years show that the Prabowo-Gibran cabinet structure continues to undergo adjustments. The President indeed has

Speaker A

the authority to determine who is considered appropriate to assist in running the government. However, the public also has the right to judge whether these changes truly impact government performance and people's lives, or if they are just position swaps without significant changes for

Speaker A

the public. In your opinion, do these seven reshuffles indicate performance evaluations or a strategy by Prabowo to strengthen his political control? Write your opinion in the comments column.
