Prabowo Answers "Reshuffle" Question: Nothing, My Team Is Working Well

Monday, 16 Jun 2025

President Prabowo Subianto finally responded to the issue and encouragement to reshuffle or overhaul his cabinet. The Head of State emphasized that he would not replace his ranks in the Red and White Cabinet for now. "I have no plans to reshuffle," said Prabowo at the JCC, Jakarta, Thursday (12/6/2025). Because, according to Prabowo, the Red and White Cabinet ranks have worked well for now. "Meanwhile, I think my team is working well," said Prabowo.

Although, he admitted that there was criticism of the performance of his ministers. However, Prabowo still thinks that his assistants are working well.

"In my opinion, it's like this so that there is no speculation in the sense that I now and until now I think that my ministers are working well," said Prabowo emphasizing. In fact, the Head of State said that criticism is a common thing in a democratic country. "To be honest, criticism here and there is good and it is common in government. In a democracy, criticism is common and we cannot satisfy everyone," said Prabowo.

Repeatedly Denied

Before Prabowo spoke out, a number of ministers in the Red and White Cabinet had denied the reshuffle issue since the end of April 2025. Minister of State Secretary (Mensesneg) Prasetyo Hadi and Cabinet Secretary (Seskab) Teddy Indra Wijaya have repeatedly denied the push and issue of a reshuffle. On May 23, 2025, Prasetyo Hadi said that there had been no discussion of a cabinet reshuffle. "Alhamdulillah, until today there has been no discussion of a reshuffle. None," said Prasetyo at the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, at that time.
