JAKARTA Political communication expert, Jamiluddin Ritonga, considers that President Prabowo Subianto's relationship with the seventh President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo (Jokowi) remains harmonious after the reshuffle or cabinet reshuffle volume two.

According to him, the relationship between the two figures will remain harmonious even though the volunteers supporting Jokowi are angry because the General Chairperson of ProJo Budi Arie Setiadi has been removed from the Minister of Cooperatives. "Hopefully Prabowo and Jokowi's relationship will not change after Budi Arie is hit by a reshuffle," he said, Sunday, September 14, 2025.

Jamil said that the Gibran Rakabuming Raka factor was the reason Prabowo and Jokowi's relationship would remain harmonious. It is different if Prabowo supports Gibran's impeachment efforts from the vice president's seat. "The relationship between Prabowo and Jokowi automatically heats up if Gibran is impeached," he said.

He predicts that Gibran's impeachment opportunity as vice president is very small considering Prabowo's seemingly unwilling response. "At least until now Prabowo doesn't seem to want that to happen," said Jamil.

He emphasized that Jokowi's volunteer reaction to Budi Arie's removal was a temporary response. This is because the volunteers will not act far as long as Jokowi still supports Prabowo. So, what Jokowi volunteers said was only ripple for a moment and would return to normal as Prabowo-Jokowi's relationship remained harmonious, "concluded Jamil.
