Jakarta – President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo on Thursday (29/12) denied rumors he is considering another cabinet reshuffle. "No such thing," he told journalists in South Jakarta.

The comments come after Vice President Jusuf Kalla and presidential spokesman Johan Budi also denied the reports.

"I have yet to hear directly from the president on another [cabinet] reshuffle plan," Johan said at the Presidential Palace complex in Central Jakarta on Wednesday.

Nevertheless, he reiterated that the reshuffle is part of the president's prerogative rights. "Reshuffling the cabinet is entirely the jurisdiction and prerogative rights of President Joko Widodo," he said.
