Jakarta (Antara) - President- and Vice President-elect Joko Widodo and Jusuf Kalla (Jokowi-JK) will discuss their cabinet lineup in mid-September 2014, according to National Awakening Party (PKB) Chairman Muhaimin Iskandar. "I have met with Jokowi and he said the cabinet lineup will be discussed in mid-September," Muhaimin stated here on Wednesday. "Let us wait and see," Muhaimin remarked when asked about the names that will probably be part of the cabinet lineup. "Let us wait until mid-September," noted Muhaimin, who is rumored to be reappointed as PKB general chairman in the party's national congress in Surabaya, East Java, later this month.
