Gibran asks Prabowo for time to prove diploma at PTUN

Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka asked President Prabowo Subianto for time to prove the validity of his educational documents through the State Administrative Court, or Pengadilan Tata Usaha Negara. State Secretary Minister Prasetyo Hadi said the request was delivered in a meeting at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta on Tuesday morning that lasted about 2.5 hours. In the same meeting, Gibran also conveyed his intention to resign as vice president amid the diploma dispute. Prasetyo stressed it was not true that Prabowo immediately rejected the idea; he said the president offered several suggestions during the discussion. At the same time, PSI asked that Gibran be given room to clarify the diploma dispute that has prompted calls for him to step down or be impeached.
