Gibran Rakabuming Raka: Indonesia's vice president resigns amid signs  ruling alliance is fraying

Gibran submitted his resignation letter to the leadership of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) on Thursday, November 12, 2026. He also sent a resignation letter to President Prabowo Subianto.

The 39-year-old leader, who is the son of former Indonesian President Joko Widodo, had faced criticism over documents he presented to show that he had completed the required high school education.

The controversy grew after Indonesia's Constitutional Court and Supreme Court made rulings that raised questions about the validity of his educational documents.

His situation became more difficult after more than 120 lawmakers from eight political parties supported a move that could have led to his removal from office through impeachment proceedings.
