ice president-elect Gibran Rakabuming Raka returned to Hambalang in Bogor regency, West Java, on Thursday for the second day of meetings for future ministers.
The two-day meetings, starting on Wednesday, were held at the residence of president-elect Prabowo Subianto.
Participants included top officials, future ministers and key figures from various political parties. While still unconfirmed, the sessions covered different topics concerning Indonesia’s future governance.
Gibran arrived in a white Land Cruiser VXR at around 8:26 a.m. and refrained from interacting with the media upon his arrival, keeping his car windows closed as he entered the training venue.
Several key figures, including politicians and high-ranking officials, had already arrived at the location before him.
Notable attendees included Deputy State-Owned Enterprises Minister Kartika Wirjoatmodjo, Deputy Finance Minister Thomas Djiwandono, Indonesia Solidarity Party (PSI) politician Isyana Bagoes Oka and Gerindra Party politician Muhammad “Romo” Syafi’i.
The meeting began at 9 a.m. and continued sessions from Wednesday’s program. As many as 59 ministerial candidates, including prominent figures such as Budi Gunawan, Budi Santoso and Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono attended the program.
The meetings covered a range of important topics, starting with discussions on the future role of artificial intelligence. Then, participants were briefed on how to handle media interactions as public officials.
In the afternoon, the sessions covered anti-corruption topics, followed by a summary session. The day ended with closing remarks from Prabowo, which were scheduled to run until 4 p.m.
The training was conducted behind closed doors, with minimal information shared with the public.
Despite the media's presence, Prabowo’s staff and Gerindra Party officials were reluctant to comment on or give interviews on the proceedings.
This led to speculation about the final composition of the cabinet, but no formal announcements were made during the sessions.
