On October 20, a historic moment will be witnessed as Indonesia undergoes a presidential transition. From 2014 to 2024, the long-serving leader Joko Widodo will step down after 10 years in office, and Prabowo Subianto will succeed him as the new president for the 2024-2029 term. What are the highlights of this presidential inauguration:
First, the presidential inauguration ceremony will take place on October 20 at 10:00 AM Jakarta time (11:00 AM Beijing time) at the Indonesian Parliament Building. It is expected that representatives from 35 friendly countries will attend. Under the leadership of the Speaker of the People's Consultative Assembly, the new President Prabowo and Vice President Gibran will be sworn in, and the new President Prabowo will deliver an inaugural speech, announcing the policy direction and philosophy for the next five years. Concurrently with the inauguration ceremony, 13 public stages will be set up along Jalan Sudirman in Jakarta to celebrate the new president's inauguration. After the inauguration ceremony, the president and vice president will participate in a parade from the Parliament Building to the Presidential Palace, interacting with the public.
Second, this inauguration will make new history for Indonesia. Prabowo will become the oldest president in Indonesian history at 73, while Gibran will become the youngest vice president at 37. After the inauguration ceremony on October 20, the new President Prabowo will announce the new cabinet members. This cabinet formation is expected to see a significant expansion, from 51 ministers and deputy ministers under the Joko Widodo administration to 108 ministers and deputy ministers under Prabowo. Moreover, a considerable number of Joko Widodo's cabinet ministers will join Prabowo's cabinet, largely indicating continuity in major government policies.
