Prabowo swears in 109-member Indonesia cabinet

Newly inaugurated Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto on Monday swore in the largest cabinet the country has seen in six decades, indicating a continuation of his predecessor's pragmatic approach to economic growth.

The lineup, which includes 48 ministers, 56 vice-ministers and five heads of ministerial state agencies along with their deputies, was unveiled late on Sunday following Prabowo's inauguration alongside Vice-President Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

The cabinet with 109 officials is the largest since 1966 when Indonesia's first president Sukarno formed a lineup of 132 ministers. The previous administration of Joko Widodo had about 60 cabinet members in total.
