3 politicians in Prabowo’s Cabinet resign from party led by Jokowi’s son
Three Prabowo cabinet officials quit the Indonesian Solidarity Party as lawmakers prepare to weigh pressure over Vice President Gibran.
- On Monday, Forestry Minister Raja Juli Antoni, Giring Ganesha, and Isyana Bagoes Oka resigned from the Indonesian Solidarity Party to focus fully on their government roles supporting President Prabowo Subianto.
- These departures reflect broader distancing from Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, whose political future remains uncertain following a Supreme Court ruling that invalidated the education certificate he used for the 2024 election.
- Giring stated via Instagram, "After careful personal consideration, last week I decided to resign from membership in the Indonesian Solidarity Party," citing reasons "no longer aligned with what I have been fighting for."
- The House of Representatives returns from recess on Tuesday to decide on Gibran's status, as the party remains the lone voice in the legislature opposing growing impeachment calls against the vice president.
- Facing challenges after failing to win House seats in 2019 and 2024, PSI aims to strengthen support for the 2029 elections, while former President Joko Widodo maintains close ties to the organization.
