Political observer Dedi Kurnia Syah said that the cabinet reshuffle that President Joko Widodo will conduct in the near future will indeed be considered political, if the minister removed comes from the NasDem Party. Although the president argued that the cabinet reshuffle was based on considerations of performance evaluation. "Although there will be an excuse regarding performance, from a public political perspective, we will see that the reshuffle is not due to performance factors," said Dedi in Jakarta, Friday, January 6. However, according to Dedi, of the three NasDem ministers in the cabinet, two of them did not seem to have a good performance record and tended to have no sound lately. Namely the Minister of Agriculture Syahrul Yasin Limpo and the Minister of Environment and Forestry Siti Nurbaya. "Of the three NasDem ministers, two of them did not seem to have a good work record, namely the Minister of Agriculture and the Minister of Environment and Forestry," he said. However, the executive director of the Indonesia Political Opinion (IPO) assessed that Jokowi would definitely reshuffle the cabinet because there was a factor of disappointment with NasDem who declared Anies Baswedan as a prospective presidential candidate (readpres) in 2024. "The reshuffle is very likely due to Jokowi's disappointment with NasDem," he said. Moreover, recently Jokowi's relationship with the General Chairperson of NasDem Surya Paloh seems less harmonious. Where Jokowi was not present at the NasDem Anniversary, and Surya was absent at the wedding ceremony of Kaesang Pangarep. "This can be seen on many occasions how Jokowi has shown his disharmony with NasDem since the declaration of Anies Baswedan as a potential presidential candidate. For this reason, a reshuffle could be used to amput NasDem in the cabinet," said Dedi. Previously, it was rumored that President Jokowi would reshuffle his cabinet in the near future. The issue has been sticking out since the end of December last year. Repeatedly, Jokowi has also answered the possibility of the cabinet reshuffle issue. However, the answer to the head of state is always relaxed. "It can be Friday, it can be Monday, it can be Tuesday, it can be Wednesday," said Jokowi.
