POLICY WIRE — Jakarta, Indonesia — Gibran Rakabuming Raka has officially submitted his resignation as the Vice President of Indonesia, marking a significant shift in the nation’s current political landscape.
The departure comes during a period of intense instability where the ruling coalition that once supported the administration appears to be rapidly disintegrating.
Public and political pressure has mounted following serious questioning regarding Gibran’s eligibility for office and the authenticity of his academic credentials.
The resignation coincides with reports indicating that President Joko Jokowi has shifted his support toward Prab Prabowo, signaling a major break in the previous political alignment.
Observers suggest the fall of the once-prominent political figure is the result of a compounding diploma scandal and a broader strategic pivot within the government.
