Three Gerindra DPD units back Sufmi Dasco for vice president
Prabowo has 14 days to submit two names to the MPR, while a plenary session to fill the vice presidency is set for 2 December.
Three regional boards of the Gerindra Party from Sumatera Barat, Lampung, and Sumatera Selatan said they support Deputy Speaker of the House Sufmi Dasco Ahmad to become vice president, replacing Gibran Rakabuming Raka. Andre Rosiade, Rahmat Mirzani Djausal, and Kartika Sandra Desi each said Dasco has the capacity, is close to President Prabowo Subianto, and would be acceptable across political groups and community segments. The support came as the vice presidential seat became vacant after Gibran stepped down. Earlier, Prabowo gave the coalition parties a week to discuss the name to be proposed. The MPR has sent a letter to the president, and Prabowo has 14 days to submit two candidate names. MPR Chairman Ahmad Muzani scheduled a plenary session to fill the vice presidential post for Wednesday, 2 December 2026.
