Indonesia’s Vice President Gibran Resigns Amid Questions Over His Education Credentials

Indonesia’s Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka has submitted his resignation to parliament’s upper house and sent a letter to President Prabowo Subianto. The report says he described his departure as voluntary, while the country’s senior law minister said the letter cited personal reasons and public sentiment. The resignation follows court rulings that Gibran’s overseas high school qualifications did not meet the legal requirements for vice-presidential candidates. Lawmakers had also called for his impeachment over the issue. Parliament is expected to declare the office vacant and ask Prabowo to nominate two replacements. An upper-house election is expected within 60 days.
