Pramono Overhauls DKI Provincial Government Ranks, Syafrin Liputo Appointed as South Jakarta Mayor
The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government carried out a reshuffle of positions on Wednesday (15 April 2026). At least 11 top high-ranking officials were inaugurated directly by Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung Wibowo at the DKI City Hall in Central Jakarta.
One of those inaugurated was Syafrin Liputo. Syafrin relinquished his position as head of the DKI Transportation Agency (Dishub) to take up the role of Mayor of South Jakarta (Walkot Jaksel). The position of head of DKI Dishub will be assumed by Budi Awaluddin.
Pramono stated that the inauguration was based on a letter from the Head of the National Civil Service Agency (BKN), a letter from the Chairman of the Jakarta Provincial DPRD, and Governor’s Decrees (Kepgub) Number 385 of 2026 to Number 388 of 2026. However, not all inaugurated officials will immediately assume their new roles.
“We need to clarify to avoid misinterpretation: in this inauguration, there are 11 people inaugurated. Three take effect from the inauguration date today, four take effect on 1 June, three on 1 August, and one is awaiting the issuance of the decree for appointment as a main functional official,” Pramono said at DKI City Hall on Wednesday.
The former cabinet secretary explained that the reshuffle was intended to eliminate any acting heads (Plt) for top high-ranking positions within the DKI Provincial Government. This would make future programmes more effective.
“I and Mr Deputy Governor congratulate the newly inaugurated officials. Hopefully, the new officials can quickly adapt to their main duties within the orchestration led by me and Mr Deputy Governor,” Pramono said.

Syafrin Liputo as Mayor of South Jakarta City (effective from 1 June 2026).
