JAKARTA – The headquarters of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries is currently temporarily occupied by Coordinating Minister of Maritime Affairs and Investments Luhut Binsar Panjaitan.Luhut served temporarily because the former Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Edhy Prabowo, was detained by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) for alleged bribery related to the lobster seed export license.

President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has not revealed who will be the final successor to the Minister of Maritime and Fisheries to replace Edhy Prabowo.

So how will the Gerindra Party feel if President Jokowi relinquishes the post of Minister of Maritime and Fisheries in place of Edhy Prabowo to another party? Indonesia Political Review (IPR) Executive Director Ujang Komarudin gave his prediction. “There will be a cold war between Prabowo and Jokowi. They will be suspicious of each other and find fault with each other. Their feelings are certainly uncomfortable. And maybe he will do calculations in his own way,” Ujang Komarudin told SINDOnews on Friday (11/27 / 2020).

If the headquarters of the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries replacing Edhy Prabowo is handed over to another party, he predicts that the Gerindra Party will prepare a strategy for the party to remain and so that Prabowo Subianto’s eligibility does not decrease. “There are only two possibilities. It could be softened. Or the opposite could be harsh in criticizing the government. Or there could be other attitudes, that is, playing in the middle,” he concluded.
