JAKARTA (Reuters) -Outgoing Indonesian President Joko Widodo said on Monday he has appointed people close to his successor in a cabinet reshuffle, including new energy and investment ministers, two months before he is due to step down.

Jokowi, as the president is commonly known, will leave office in October, replaced by President-elect and current Defence Minister Prabowo Subianto, who won the election in February.
