Upon this major cabinet reshuffle, 26 individuals were appointed to serve on the board, tasked with providing the president with advice and considerations.\n\nThe newly formed board includes former senior minister Pratikno, who will serve as its chair, alongside Hatta Rajasa as deputy. Pratikno, who was once a senior aide to President Joko \"Jokowi\" Widodo, has a lengthy political career spanning multiple administrations. Hatta Rajasa, a businessman and politician, is also affiliated with various political parties and has held ministerial positions under previous presidents.\n\nSeveral other prominent figures were also appointed to the board, including Budi Gunawan, a retired police general and former State Intelligence Agency (BIN) head, and Sinta Nuriyah Wahid, widow of former President Abdurrahman \"Gus Dur\" Wahid. These appointments demonstrate Prabowo's commitment to a diverse range of professional backgrounds and political affiliations on the advisory board.",
