POLITIC - JAKARTA. President Joko Widodo, commonly known as Jokowi, is prepared to support the governmental transition process of the newly elected President Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka.
Ari Dwipayanan, the Coordinator of the President's Special Staff, stated that President Jokowi is ready to incorporate the programs of Prabowo-Gibran into the Government Work Plan (RKP) and the Draft State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (RAPBN) for 2025.
"This includes those that can be immediately executed after October 20, 2024, following the inauguration of the elected President and Vice President," Ari explained to Kontan.co.id on Friday (26/4).
However, Ari did not directly confirm whether Jokowi would form a special team to assist Prabowo-Gibran during the transition period.

Separately, Drajad Wibowo, a member of the National Victory Team (TKN) Expert Council for Prabowo-Gibran, confirmed that there are preparations for the transition period.
However, he said that these preparations are largely carried out by the current president's assistants such as Finance Minister Sri Mulyani, State Secretary Minister Pratikno, and PPN Minister/Head of Bappenas Suharso Monoarfa who still have authority in the RKP and RAPBN 2025.
Meanwhile, within the TKN itself, he admitted, there has been no formation of a special team to prepare for the Prabowo Gibran transition period.
"If asked, of course, we are ready to submit proposals, but we respect the Finance Minister, State Secretary, and Head of Bappenas in carrying out their duties," he said.
It is known that Prabowo and Gibran were confirmed as the elected President-Vice President by the KPU on Wednesday, April 24, 2024. .
This decision was made after the Constitutional Court (MK) rejected the presidential election result lawsuit filed by the presidential-vice presidential candidate pair number 01 Anies Baswedan-Muhaimin Iskandar and the presidential-vice presidential candidate pair number 03 Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud MD.
