Indonesia’s Vice-President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, 39, has resigned following a major controversy over his educational qualifications.
The son of former President Joko Widodo came under intense pressure after Indonesia’s Constitutional Court found no convincing evidence that he had completed the equivalent of senior high school (matric), a mandatory qualification for presidential and vice-presidential candidates.
The Supreme Court subsequently annulled the educational equivalency certificate used to support his 2024 candidacy, ruling that attendance records and academic transcripts did not establish proof of graduation.
Gibran formally submitted his resignation on Thursday, November 12, dealing a significant political blow to the influential Widodo dynasty and President Prabowo Subianto’s administration.
