JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) is reshaping the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet today, 22 December. Jokowi's current cabinet is longer than when he first reshuffled his cabinet when he took office in 2014.

The age of the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet has remained unchanged for 14 months since the inauguration of 23 October 2019. You could say that this cabinet's tenure is four months longer lasting than the Working Cabinet in the first term of Jokowi's administration in 2014.

Jokowi for the first time reshuffled the Working Cabinet with Jusuf Kalla on August 12, 2015. This means that 'only' lasted 10 months since being inaugurated on October 27, 2014.

Oldest and shortest

In the first term of Jokowi's administration, there were four cabinet changes. While the fastest reshuffle occurred in the last or fourth.

The Working Cabinet before the fourth volume reshuffle, was only about 8 months old, from January 2018 to August 2018. At that time, the Minister of Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform, Asman Abnur, who was a PAN cadre resigned from his post. The reason is that PAN decided to no longer support Jokowi in the 2019 presidential election.

The Working Cabinet was solid without any reform of ministers after Jokowo-JK reshuffled it for the first time. The second reshuffle was carried out on July 27, 2016. The Cabinet in this period can last until early January 2018 or around 17 months.

During this period, there were a number of ministers who still survive today. Sri Mulyani Indrawati, for example, at that time she had just entered the Working Cabinet as Minister of Finance.

Then there was Airlangga Hartarto who replaced Saleh Husin as Minister of Industry. And Muhadjir Effendy who replaced Anies Baswedan as Minister of Education and Culture.

Women minister

Of the 34 ministerial and coordinating minister seats, there are 5 women ministers in the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet who Jokowi swore in on 23 October 2019.

Meanwhile, in this reshuffle, Jokowi added women ministers to his cabinet. Jokowi appointed Tri Rismaharini, the mayor of Surabaya as Minister of Social Affairs. So that there are now 6 women ministers in the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet.

Meanwhile, 5 other women ministers in the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet are Minister of Foreign Affairs Retno Lestari Priansari Marsudi, Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati, Minister of Manpower Ida Fauziyah, Minister of Environment and Forestry Siti Nurbaya, and Minister of Women Empowerment and Child Protection I Gusti Ayu Bintang Darmavati .

However, the number of women in the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet is still less than the 8 people in the Working Cabinet.

The eight people include Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture Puan Maharani, Minister of Foreign Affairs Retno Marsudi, Minister of Environment and Forestry Siti Nurbaya Bakar, Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Susi Pudjiastuti, Minister of Health Nila Moeloek, Minister of Social Affairs Khofifah Indar Parawansa, Minister Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Yohana Yembise, and Minister of State-Owned Enterprises, Rini Soemarno.
