JustUpdateOnline.com – JAKARTA, In a major political development, Indonesia’s Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka has reportedly resigned from his post. The news was confirmed by Budi Arie Setiadi on Wednesday, November 11, marking a significant shift in the nation’s executive branch.
The 39-year-old Vice President, who is the eldest son of Indonesia’s 7th President, Joko Widodo, has recently been at the center of intense legal and public scrutiny. Last month, both the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court issued rulings indicating that Gibran’s educational documentation did not meet the mandatory criteria required for election candidates.
According to statements provided to the media, Gibran presented his formal resignation notice to President Prabowo Subianto on Wednesday morning. Beyond the submission to the President, insiders within the People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR) have indicated that a formal letter is expected to be delivered to the legislative body on Thursday morning. The MPR will be responsible for managing the resignation proceedings and overseeing the process of selecting a successor.
Despite the widespread reports, the Vice President’s office has not yet issued an official statement or responded to requests for clarification. The situation remains fluid as the government prepares for the administrative transitions resulting from this high-profile departure.
