Gibran's Diploma Controversy: Political Parties Highlight Supreme Court's Ruling, Urge Evaluation of Presidential Candidates' Qualifications
- On Friday, Indonesia's Supreme Court invalidated a high-school equivalency certificate submitted by Vice-President Gibran Rakabuming Raka for his 2024 candidacy, overturning two lower-court rulings that had rejected the lawsuit.
- The ruling annuls a government certificate issued in August 2019 that established Gibran met minimum educational requirements, following an appeal filed by lawyer Subhan Palal against the Education Ministry.
- An October Constitutional Court decision found no convincing evidence of a foreign diploma supporting Gibran's high-school equivalency, though that court dismissed the case because petitioners lacked standing.
- Gibran's lawyer, Muhammad Rullyandi, argued on October 31 that the ruling does not apply retroactively or affect the vice-president's current position; removal would require separate constitutional proceedings.
- The Supreme Court canceled a briefing scheduled for Monday to explain the ruling, citing lack of the full written judgment, while Gibran has not publicly commented on the Oct 30 decision.
