PKS Reveals House Leadership Meeting Discussing Supreme Court Ruling on Gibran's Diploma

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - M Kholid, Secretary General of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), revealed that the leadership of the House of Representatives is holding a meeting following the opening session of the parliamentary sitting on Tuesday (10/11/2026).

One of the issues being discussed is the aspirations of each faction regarding the next steps following the Supreme Court's (MA) decision to annul the certificate of equivalence for Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka's diploma.

"Let the process unfold naturally. The leadership meeting is ongoing, discussing the aspirations of each faction," Kholid stated when met at the House of Representatives, Tuesday (10/11/2026).

"God willing, we will soon hear decisions from each faction and the leadership of the House," he added.

Kholid noted that during the recess, informal communications between parties have taken place through phone calls.

Specifically for PKS, Kholid expressed that the party has resolved to urge the House of Representatives to exercise its constitutional rights.

According to the analysis from the Central Leadership Council (DPP) of PKS, Kholid stated that using the right to express an opinion is currently considered the most relevant option.

"From our analysis at the DPP, the most relevant and appropriate action to take right now is the right to express an opinion," Kholid remarked.

On another note, Kholid reiterated PKS's stance on Gibran's position following the Supreme Court's ruling and the Constitutional Court's (MK) legal considerations.

He suggested that Gibran should step down.

However, if Gibran chooses not to take that option, the House can proceed with the constitutional process.

"So, the choice is, if he resigns, it would be better. It would be for the best," Kholid said.

"If he does not resign, the constitutional process in the House will continue," he added.

As previously reported, the MA granted the cancellation of Gibran Rakabuming's senior high school equivalency certificate for his candidacy as vice president in the upcoming 2024 elections.

"Yes, we received news of the ruling," said Subhan, the plaintiff, when contacted by Kompas.com, Friday (30/10/2026).
