Jakarta: Gibran Rakabuming Raka has stepped down as Vice President. The news was confirmed directly by Projo Chairman Budi Arie Setiadi.

“Gibran has stepped down” Budi Arie said to Metrotvnews.com on Wednesday, November 11th, 2026

Budi Arie did not explain when the resignation was submitted to President Prabowo Subianto. He also did not say whether Gibran had met with President Prabowo to hand in his resignation.

Reports of Gibran's resignation had already been circulating. The issue began when the Constitutional Court (MK) found no evidence that Gibran Rakabuming Raka held a high school diploma or its equivalent, a requirement for running as Vice President.

In addition, the Supreme Court (MA) granted a request to cancel the validity of Gibran Rakabuming Raka's High School Education Equivalency Certificate. Ruling No. 742 K/TUN/2026 cancels an administrative requirement for his candidacy as Vice President in the 2024 election.

Gibran's candidacy in the 2024 election had also sparked a long debate over the Constitutional Court's ruling on the age requirement for presidential and vice presidential candidates.

Most recently, all factions in the House of Representatives (DPR) have submitted the Right to Express an Opinion (HMP) against Vice President Gibran. More than 100 House members have proposed it.

"A total of 120 members from eight factions have proposed the HMP," said House Deputy Speaker Saan Mustopa, as quoted from TV Parlemen's YouTube channel on Wednesday, November 11, 2026.

Saan gave a breakdown by faction: 14 members from PDIP, 11 from Golkar, 11 from Gerindra, 19 from NasDem, 18 from PKB, 28 from PKS, 1 from PAN, and 18 from Demokrat.
