Indonesia vice president expresses intention to resign, presidential official says
Prabowo’s office said Gibran also asked to challenge the education documents at the center of lawmakers’ impeachment push.
- On Tuesday, Vice-President Gibran Rakabuming Raka expressed his intention to resign during a meeting with President Prabowo Subianto. Presidential spokesperson Prasetyo Hadi confirmed the discussion, stating Gibran cited the "evolving situation."
- The move follows rulings last month by the Constitutional Court and Supreme Court that Gibran's education documents failed to meet election requirements. Lawmakers are now weighing an inquiry into his eligibility.
- Lawmakers, controlled by Prabowo's "big tent" coalition, are looking into launching an inquiry, which some analysts believe could be the first step towards Gibran's impeachment. The investigation intensifies political pressure on the Vice-President.
- Prasetyo denied reports that Prabowo rejected the resignation request, though he stopped short of confirming acceptance. The Vice-President's office did not immediately provide further comment.
- Tensions are widening between Prabowo and President Joko Widodo, known as Jokowi, Gibran's influential father. Jokowi twice defeated Prabowo in 2014 and 2019 elections before backing him as his successor.
