Previously Kept Secret, 11 Gerindra Faction Members Propose Motion of Opinion on Gibran's Diploma

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Eleven members of the House of Representatives from the Gerindra Party faction have submitted a proposal for a motion of opinion regarding the controversy surrounding Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka's high school diploma.

Gerindra representative Azis Subekti was initially reluctant to disclose the identities of the 11 party members who proposed the motion.

"We kindly ask permission not to mention those 11 individuals. We will communicate this to the leadership. God willing, this will be part of what we can expedite for resolution," Azis said during a meeting with House leadership at the Parliament Complex in Jakarta on Wednesday (11/11/2026) afternoon.

However, another Gerindra member, Bahtra Banong, unexpectedly revealed the identities of those who signed the proposal.

"Since others have mentioned names, it would be inappropriate for me not to do so," Bahtra stated.

"The first signer is Azis Subekti. The second is Longki Djanggola, the third is Rahmawati, the fourth is Darori Wonodipuro, the fifth is La Tinro La Tunrung, the sixth is Hendro Hermono, the seventh is Abdul Wachid, the eighth is Martin Tumbuleka, the ninth is Mohammad Husni, the tenth is Hasikin Sultan, and lastly, myself," he added.

Additionally, the Gerindra Party was the last to present its proposal for a motion of opinion during the leadership meeting with all factions in the House.

"Why did we take the last slot? Because we wanted to listen and consider what the complaints, perspectives, and desires were to resolve the issues currently developing in the public sphere, and of course, we want to conclude this soon," Azis explained.

Azis clarified that Gerindra felt it necessary to be part of the proposal concerning Gibran's controversy.

"Therefore, as proposers, we believe that the issues raised are part of the reasons why we participate in proposing and signing the Motion of Opinion related to the controversy involving Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka," he said.
