The Red and White Cabinet (Indonesian: Kabinet Merah Putih, abbreviated as KMP) is the current Cabinet of Indonesia. It was sworn in on 21 October 2024 by President Prabowo Subianto.[1]
Although the cabinet was formally activated on 21 October 2024, two of Prabowo's cabinet agencies were already appointed and working near the end of Joko Widodo's Onward Indonesia Cabinet. The twelfth reshuffle, carried out on 19 August 2024, established the Presidential Communication Office and the National Nutrition Agency.[2]
As of 8 October 2025, with 48 ministers, 54 deputy ministers, and 10 cabinet-level agency officials (totaling 112 appointments), this cabinet is the second largest in Indonesia history (second to the Second Dwikora Cabinet with 132 appointments) and the largest cabinet formed in the post-Reformasi period.

First reshuffle
The Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology Satryo Brodjonegoro resigned on 19 February 2025, citing underperformance, although he was also mired with controversies during his tenure as minister. He was replaced by Brian Yuliarto.[11][12]
Second reshuffle
On 8 September 2025, the president replaced five ministers, although only three ministers were immediately sworn, which were the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Indonesian Migrant Workers Protection, and Ministry of Cooperatives.[13] The definitive replacement for Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs is yet to be announced, and the position would be filled by an ad interim official, while the to-be-announced new Minister of Youth and Sports could not attend the ceremony and would be sworn at later date.[14][15]
The Hajj Management Authority was transformed into the newly created Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, with Mochamad Irfan Yusuf and Dahnil Anzar Simanjuntak as its minister and deputy minister, respectively.[8]
Incumbent Minister of Defense Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin was appointed as the ad interim Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs on 8 September and the news was announced the day after.[16][17]
Third reshuffle
On 17 September, the president appointed the replacements for the Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs and the Minister of Youth and Sports, replaced the Chief of Presidential Staff, the Head of Presidential Communication Office, the Deputy Heads of National Nutrition Agency, and three deputy ministers. The president also appointed the Police Commissioner General (Ret.) Ahmad Dofiri as the Special Advisor of the President for Security and Public Order and Police Reform.[18][19]
Notably, Erick Thohir, which was the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises, was dismissed from that position and appointed as the new Minister of Youth and Sports.[20] Dony Oskaria was appointed as acting Minister of State-Owned Enterprises on 19 September.[21]
Replacements outside of reshuffle
The House of Representatives (DPR) ratified the fourth revision of the Law on State-Owned Enterprise on 2 October 2025. The Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises is dissolved and replaced with the ministerial-level State-Owned Enterprise Management Agency. Its leader is to be appointed by the President.[22] Consequently, the positions of Minister and Deputy Minister of State-Owned Enterprises were automatically abolished.[23]
On 8 October 2025, Prabowo inaugurated two additional deputy ministers, Akhmad Wiyagud as Deputy Minister of Home Affairs and Benjamin Paulus Octavianus as Deputy Minister of Health.[24] The president also appointed the Head and Deputy Heads of the new State-Owned Enterprise Management Agency.[25]
