This is acknowledged directly by the elected vice president candidate, Gibran. He stated that discussions about the cabinet with Prabowo have been ongoing for a long time. "It has been discussed since the previous days," said the man who currently serves as the Mayor of Solo when met in South Jakarta on Monday, March 25, 2024. Despite the long-standing discussions, the Mayor of Solo is unwilling to disclose more details about the government cabinet that he will run with Prabowo. "Later, later," said the eldest son of President Joko Widodo.

Gibran affirms that the formation of the cabinet is Prabowo's prerogative if he becomes president in the future. This also answers the rumors that Jokowi is involved in determining the future government's cabinet. "It will be Mr. Prabowo who will decide," he said. However, Gibran does not deny that they will seek input from President Jokowi in the cabinet formation. Even though the final decision lies with Prabowo. "Maybe there will be input, but the decision will be made by Mr. Prabowo," he emphasized.
