DPR: If Gibran steps down, formal process must go to parliament
Komisi II says the President cannot accept or reject it; once the resignation is official, DPR must hold a special session.
DPR Commission II member Ahmad Doli Kurnia said Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka’s intention to resign should be made public and handled through DPR, not left at a meeting with President Prabowo Subianto. Doli said the President has no authority to accept or reject a vice president’s resignation. If Gibran formally steps down, DPR will respond through a special session and ask the President to propose two names as replacement candidates. The issue surfaced after State Secretary Minister Prasetyo Hadi revealed that Gibran had conveyed his resignation plan to Prabowo in a roughly 2.5-hour meeting in Jakarta. Prasetyo also said Prabowo did not reject the idea but offered advice. Separately, Bahlil Lahadalia called on people to respect the President’s advice to Gibran, while Gibran is said to want to prove the validity of his educational documents through PTUN.
