President Prabowo Subianto will inaugurate a number of officials on Monday, 27 April 2026. By Monday afternoon, several candidates for the Merah Putih Cabinet had arrived at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta to attend the inauguration ceremony.

Among those present were Presidential Special Advisor on National Defence, TNI General (Retired) Dudung Abdurachman, Presidential Chief of Staff Muhammad Qodari, and Minister of Environment Hanif Faisol.
