Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – General Chair of Projo and Minister of Communication and Information (Menkominfo) Budi Arie Setiadi spoke about his chances of entering the Prabowo-Gibran cabinet. He said he would wait another six months when the new President and Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia were inaugurated.
“Oh yeah, there are still six months left,” said Budi Arie when met at the Kominfo Office, Thursday (21/3/2024).
Regarding whether he will become Minister of Communications and Information again, Budi also asked to wait. Because everything is the President's prerogative.
“Yeah, just wait. That's the president's prerogative,” he said.
Budi Arie also did not comment much on the distribution of ministerial seats in the new cabinet. Again, the answer is all up to Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka.
“We have no comment. It's up to Mr Prabowo and Mr Gibran […] We don't know. “That is the prerogative of the President-elect,” Budi emphasized.
Previously, Prabowo-Gibran was appointed as President and Vice President for 2024-2029 based on the results of the KPU vote recapitulation which was announced on Wednesday (20/3).
Both of them beat serial number 01 Anies-Muhaimin Iskandar and Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud Md who were serial number 03.
The acquisition of candidate pair number 02 reached 96,214,691 or 58.59%. Anies-Cak Imin got 40.9 million and Ganjar-Mahfud got 27 million.
