Indonesia’s Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka has resigned, his aide Budi Arie Setiadi told Reuters on Wednesday, 11 November 2026, after tendering his resignation to President Prabowo Subianto.
The resignation follows rulings by the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court that Gibran’s education documents did not meet the requirements to stand in the election. The Supreme Court instructed the education ministry to withdraw his annulled education equivalence certificate.
Earlier on Wednesday, 120 lawmakers from eight parties submitted a petition seeking his impeachment. The parliamentary upper house must now convene to declare a vacancy and ask the president for two replacement names.
Gibran, 39, is the son of former president Joko Widodo. He is expected to submit his resignation letter to the upper house on Thursday morning.
