President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) conducted another cabinet reshuffle on Monday, July 17, 2023. This is Jokowi's ninth cabinet reshuffle since assuming the presidency in 2014.

In this reshuffle, Jokowi appointed Budi Arie Setiadi as the Minister of Communication and Informatics, replacing Johnny G Plate, who is now a suspect in a corruption case involving the procurement of 4G Base Transceiver Stations (BTS).

Furthermore, Jokowi also appointed five deputy ministers. Nezar Patria was appointed as the Deputy Minister of Communication and Informatics, alongside Budi Arie.

Paiman Raharjo replaced Budi Arie as the Deputy Minister of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions, and Transmigration, and Pahala Mansury, previously the Deputy Minister of State-Owned Enterprises, was appointed as the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Rosan Roeslani was appointed by Jokowi as the Deputy Minister of State-Owned Enterprises. Saiful Rahmat Dasuki was chosen as the Deputy Minister of Religious Affairs.

On the same occasion, Jokowi also appointed two members to the Presidential Advisory Council (Wantimpres): Djan Faridz and Gandi Sulistiyanto.

The frequency of reshuffles during Jokowi's presidency is relatively low compared to his predecessors.

Based on data compiled by Databoks from various sources, the Indonesian president who conducted the most cabinet reshuffles is Soekarno.

The first president of Indonesia is recorded to have conducted 28 cabinet reshuffles during his 22 years in office.

Next is Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY), who conducted 20 cabinet reshuffles during his 10 years in office. During the 2004-2009 period, SBY conducted 11 reshuffles, while during the 2009-2014 period, he conducted 9.

Abdurrahman Wahid, or Gus Dur, conducted 13 cabinet reshuffles during his presidency from 1999-2001. On average, each reshuffle during Gus Dur's administration involved replacing only one minister.

Of Jokowi's total of 9 cabinet reshuffles, 4 occurred during the 2014-2019 period (the Working Cabinet era), while 5 occurred during the 2019-2023 period (the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet era).

Soeharto conducted 3 cabinet reshuffles, fewer than Jokowi.

On the other hand, there were no ministerial changes or reshuffles during the presidencies of BJ Habibie and Megawati Soekarnoputri. Ministers who resigned during their terms were replaced on an ad interim basis by other ministers or acting ministers.
