Original source: The Jakarta PostPresident-elect Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) has moved a step closer to announcing his new Cabinet ministers, a source close to the president told Antara news agency Saturday.
“Cabinet [selection] is close to finalized. Talks with [political] parties are done. ...minister candidates' achievements, however, have been taken into consideration by SBY,” said the anonymous source.
According to the source, SBY has talked with a number of political parties, including the Golkar Party, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) and the Great Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra).
