Prabowo cabinet reshuffle support rises to 62.2%

The survey also suggests voters are rewarding visible performers. Agriculture Minister Andi Amran Sulaiman was named the best-performing official by 15.4% of respondents, followed by Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya at 14.5% and Youth and Sports Minister Erick Thohir at 6%. That ranking is significant because it highlights which officials are most closely associated with the government’s most tangible achievements, and which ministries may be seen as safe anchors if Prabowo widens the shake-up.

Support for reshuffling comes even as the administration has already moved repeatedly. ANTARA reported that since Prabowo took office in October 2024, the cabinet has undergone nine waves of changes by mid-October 2026, spanning ministers, deputy ministers, presidential officials and senior figures in the armed forces and police. The frequency suggests the president is willing to adjust quickly, but it also points to a government still searching for the most effective organizational structure.

For investors, the key issue is not the survey itself but what it says about policy continuity. A reshuffle can improve execution if it strengthens ministries tied to spending, permits and infrastructure delivery, but it can also create short-term uncertainty if it unsettles regulatory coordination or delays implementation. Sectors most exposed to government decisions — agriculture, housing, investment, energy transition and downstream industry — will watch whether any changes produce a more disciplined policy line or simply rotate political allies.

The market significance is especially high for businesses that depend on state coordination and budget execution. If the reshuffle elevates technocratic ministers with stronger delivery records, it could support sentiment around domestic demand, food supply management and capital expenditure. If it deepens the perception of political balancing over competence, investors may price in slower reform momentum and more policy noise.

The survey’s broader message is that Prabowo still enjoys enough political capital to refresh his cabinet without obvious backlash. The question for markets is whether the next round of changes improves execution in the ministries that matter most for growth, investment and inflation control.
