Gibran Resigns but Continues to "Fight" in PTUN, DPR Leadership: Respect the Right to Seek Justice

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Deputy Speaker of the People's Consultative Assembly (DPR) Saan Mustopa responded to Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, who announced his intention to resign but requested the opportunity to fight for his diploma issue in the State Administrative Court (PTUN) first.

Saan explained that a person's right to seek justice must be respected.

"Yes, we respect it. We respect someone's right, in quotes, to seek justice," Saan said at the DPR Building, Senayan, Jakarta, on Tuesday (10/11/2026).

Saan emphasized that if Gibran wants to pursue legal action regarding his diploma, which has become a controversy in the Constitutional Court (MK) and the Supreme Court (MA), the public should honor that decision.

"For instance, if Mas Gibran wants to seek and make efforts to prove what has been alleged against him, either through decisions made by the Constitutional Court or the Supreme Court regarding his diploma, Mas Gibran wants to prove it in court, like in the PTUN," he elaborated.

"The essence is that we just need to respect that. So, fundamentally, we have to respect Mas Gibran's right to do that," Saan added.

Previously, Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka met with President Prabowo Subianto to request an opportunity to prove the validity of his diploma at the State Administrative Court (PTUN).

This was conveyed by Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi regarding the meeting between Prabowo and Gibran held earlier today, Tuesday (10/11/2026).

"The Vice President, Mr. Gibran Rakabuming Raka, in the meeting also requested to be given the opportunity to prove the validity of the documents he possesses through the State Administrative Court," Prasetyo said in a press conference on Tuesday.

In addition to seeking an opportunity for proof, Gibran also expressed his intention to resign from the Vice Presidential position during the meeting.
