President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono will summon ministerial candidates for an interview soon, an official says.

“I can only say that the President will soon start interviewing the ministerial candidates at Puri Cikeas,” presidential spokesman Andi Mallarangeng told kompas.com after a meeting with Yudhoyono at the latter’s residence in Cikeas in the West Java town of Bogor on Saturday, but he could not confirm the schedule for the interviews.

Yudhoyono and vice president-elect Boediono will be inaugurated on Oct. 20. The President is expected to announce his Cabinet line-up on Oct. 21 and install the Cabinet members on Oct. 22.

Yudhoyono received Boediono, State Secretary Hatta Radjasa and Andi at his private residence and lunched with them on Saturday. Andi said during the meeting Boediono reported to the President he had completed the draft of government programs for the first 100 days in office and for the coming five years.

Incumbent President Yudhoyono and Boediono won the July 9 election by a landslide.
