Indonesia's Vice-President Gibran Rakabuming Raka submitted his resignation to parliament, the speaker of the People's Assembly (MPR), Ahmad Muzani, said on 12 November 2026. He said the letter would be processed by the MPR, a process that could take up to 60 days. President Prabowo Subianto said he had accepted the resignation and thanked Mr Gibran for his work, citing visits to 35 provinces and 149 regencies and cities and inspections of 303 government project sites.

Pressure had mounted on the 39-year-old son of former president Joko Widodo for weeks after court rulings on his educational qualifications. In October, the Constitutional Court found no compelling evidence he held a high school diploma required under Indonesian law to run for office, and the Supreme Court ruled a high school equivalency certificate he had obtained was invalid. The resignation came hours before the House of Representatives was due to meet over a petition signed by more than 120 politicians calling for his impeachment.

The ABC report said the move comes amid a widening rift between President Prabowo and Mr Jokowi, and as protests take place in several cities over government policies and the handling of wildfires. Mr Gibran's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment; after meeting Mr Prabowo on the Tuesday before the report, he said he respected public criticism and did not want the situation to become a prolonged political controversy.
