Jakarta. Leaders from the Advance Indonesia Coalition (KIM) were summoned by coalition leader and President-elect Prabowo Subianto to his residence on Jalan Kertanegara in South Jakarta on Monday. They are anticipated to assume ministerial roles in Prabowo's administration.

Notable attendees included Zulkifli Hasan, chair of the National Mandate Party (PAN); Bahlil Lahadalia, chairman of Golkar; Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono, chair of the Democrats; and Yusril Ihza Mahendra, founder of the Crescent Star Party.

Also present was Muhaimin Iskandar, chairman of the National Awakening Party (PKB) and former running mate of presidential candidate Anies Baswedan, who competed against Prabowo in the 2014 election.

From the professional sector, palm oil plantation entrepreneur Widiyanti Putri Wardhana and human rights activist Natalius Pigai were also spotted. Additionally, Social Affairs Minister Saifullah Yusuf (Gus Ipul) and Home Affairs Minister Tito Karnavian from outgoing President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo’s administration were present.

Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, Daily Chairperson of the Gerindra Party, confirmed that the individuals invited to Prabowo’s residence are prospective ministers for his administration.

"Yesterday, the prospective ministers signed an agreement to assist Prabowo's administration," he said on Monday.

Prabowo is expected to unveil his cabinet shortly after his inauguration as Indonesia’s 8th president on Oct. 20.
