JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) said that the agenda for his meeting with a number of general chairmen of political parties (ketum political parties), at the end of last month, did not discuss the composition reshuffle of the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet (KIM). The statement was conveyed by President Jokowi on the sidelines of reviewing the implementation of the Balita Balance Month in Posyandu Integrated RW02 Taman Sawo, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, Tuesday, June 11. "Meet you, but do not speak," said President Jokowi when asked by ANTARA whether there was a topic about the cabinet reshuffle at the meeting. The statement also clarified the news in one of the national mass media regarding the discussion of cabinet reshuffle in his meeting with a number of political party heads at the Jakarta Presidential Palace Complex, Tuesday, May 28, 2024.

The narrative of the news mentions Jokowi's request to re-cosh the name of the minister this month which does not support the president's performance. A number of political party leaders have provided input so that Jokowi does not have to reshuffle because the current government will end in the next few months.
