KEBUMEN - Chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) Kaesang Pangarep admitted that the ministerial election is entirely the prerogative of the elected president Prabowo Subianto.

This was conveyed by President Jokowi's youngest son when asked by the media after meeting with PSI Kebumen sympathizers and administrators at Gor Joko Sangkrip, Kebumen, Central Java, last Wednesday.

When reporters asked whether they wanted to become ministers in Prabowo Subianto's cabinet, Kaesang answered diplomatically. "Everything we leave the prerogative to Pak Prabowo," said Kaesang.

Before meeting PSI cadres, Erina Gudono's husband had blusukan to Pasar Pagi, Kebumen accompanied by a candidate pair for regent and deputy regent of Kebumen, Lilis Nuryani-Zaeni Miftah.

Participating in the Kaesang safari in Kebumen is PSI Secretary General Raja Juli Antoni who also serves as deputy minister of agrarian and spatial planning.

The composition of the presidential cabinet elected Prabowo Subianto will be announced on October 20, 2024 after the inauguration.

Vice President-elect Gibran Rakabuming Raka said the cabinet preparation was almost complete. "It's almost 100% (construction of a cabinet). Later, let the president be elected. Yes, of course, we will participate (inclusion)," said Gibran after conducting a free nutritious trial at SMAN 70 Bulungan, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta
