Gibran Submits Resignation Bid to Prabowo, Vp Palace Quiet
Pressure in the House has intensified after 50 lawmakers from six factions backed a motion tied to the diploma dispute.
Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka conveyed his intention to resign to President Prabowo Subianto in a meeting lasting about 2.5 hours in Jakarta on Tuesday (10/11). State Secretary Minister Prasetyo Hadi said the talks concerned the political dynamics following Constitutional Court and Supreme Court rulings on the dispute over Gibran's diploma. According to Prasetyo, Prabowo did not reject the idea, but suggested that Gibran be given a chance to prove the document's validity at PTTUN. After the news emerged, the Vice President's Palace complex was seen operating normally and remained quiet, with official vehicles parked and Paspampres on guard as usual. At the rear gate on Jalan Kebon Sirih, four people staged a protest carrying posters demanding Gibran step down. In parliament, 50 members from six factions have signed a proposal for a right-of-opinion motion to follow up on the dispute.
