The Dynamics of a Cabinet Reshuffle

Politics is always dynamic and not completely predictable. The old advice remains relevant: prepare an umbrella before it rains.

Speculations about a third reshuffle of the Indonesia Advanced Cabinet (KIM) have been on and off since last October.

Will it be just speculation? Initially, it was believed that this reshuffle would take place last October or November coinciding with the two years stint of the Jokowi-Ma'ruf administration. The news immediately died down following the release of surveys by various institutions, showing that the level of public satisfaction with the government had risen sharply Charta Politika found that public satisfaction bounced from 62.4 percent (July 2021) to 70.1 percent (November 2021).
