Indonesia President Joko Widodo says may reshuffle cabinet before second term
Indonesia's incumbent presidential candidate Joko Widodo
Indonesian President Joko Widodo said he is considering to reshuffle the cabinet before swearing-in for a second five-year term in October, a local newspaper published on Monday.
During an interview, Widodo hinted that he would not insist on choosing technocrats over politicians.
Widodo claimed victory based on unofficial results in a televised press conference in Jakarta. Though official results are not due until May 22.
Widodo had reshuffled his cabinet several times during his first term. His cabinet is a mixture of technocrats and politicians from parties in his ruling coalition.
The president will continue the economic reforms which he started in his first term with a focus on tackling sagging foreign investment, the troubled education system and restrictive labour rules, news agency Reuters reported.
Widodo’s main rival, former military general Prabowo Subianto made a public speech claiming his own victory.
