JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) is scheduled to carry out a number of activities until a working visit to Bali amid the issue of a cabinet reshuffle or reshuffle on Wednesday, February 1st Pon.

Deputy for Protocol, Press and Media of the Presidential Secretariat Bey Machmudin said the head of state would start his activities tomorrow Wednesday Pon by attending the Mandiri Investment Forum organized by PT Bank Mandiri Tbk with Mandiri Sekuritas.

"The morning to the Mandiri Investment Forum, Monday afternoon, afternoon to Bali," said Bey at the State Palace Complex, Jakarta, Tuesday, January 31.

President Jokowi's agenda on Wednesday, February 1 is in the spotlight. The reason is that there will be a reshuffle of the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet.

The head of state does have a habit of announcing important policies including reshuffles on Wednesday Pon. Based on the Javanese date, the first Wednesday of February 2023, it was Wednesday Pon.

Previously, President Jokowi asked all parties to just wait for the cabinet reshuffle.

"The period (next week is Wednesday Pon)? Wednesday Pon, right? Yes, just wait," said Jokowi at the Hotel Indonesia (HI) roundabout, Jakarta, Sunday, January 29.

President Jokowi's statement indicating a signal of a reshuffle was also disclosed on several occasions.

On December 23, 2022, Jokowi answered that there was a possibility of a reshuffle while asking all parties to wait. Likewise when visiting Tanah Abang Market, Jakarta, on January 2, 2023.

"Yes, just wait," said Jokowi at the time, confiscated by Antara.

The issue of the reshuffle first broke out because there was pressure on the ministers from the NasDem Party considering that the party had declared it would carry Anies Baswedan as a presidential candidate in 2024.

President Jokowi received the General Chairperson of NasDem Surya Paloh at the Jakarta Presidential Palace on Thursday, January 26 last week. In the opportunity for an interview on Sunday, January 29, the contents of the meeting with Surya Paloh were reluctant to be revealed by Jokowi when asked.

"The meeting was mediocre," Jokowi replied.

When asked if his meeting with Paloh discussed a cabinet reshuffle, Jokowi replied, "I just want to know".

Minister from the NasDem Party in the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet include Minister of Environment and Forestry Siti Nurbaya Bakar, Minister of Communication and Information Johnny G. Plate, and Minister of Agriculture Syahrul Yasin Limpo.

Meanwhile, the General Chairperson of the Golkar Party who is also the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto on Tuesday, January 31, asked reporters to wait until tomorrow Wednesday, February 1, regarding national political issues. He was reluctant to reveal in more detail about the political issue.

"Regarding politics, wait for Wednesday," said Airlangga.
