JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Dedi Kurnia Syah, Executive Director of Indonesia Political Opinion (IPO), believes that Giring Ganesha, Raja Juli Antoni, and Isyana Bagoes Oka should resign from their positions in the Merah Putih Cabinet after announcing their departure from the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI).

According to Dedi, their continued presence in the cabinet raises concerns since they no longer hold status as PSI cadres.

"The decision by Giring, Raja Juli, and Isyana to resign is personal and does not impact the public; however, their positions in the cabinet are problematic. They should step down from their cabinet roles, as they are not contributing anything except occupying positions as representatives of PSI," Dedi stated to Kompas.com on Tuesday (10/11/2026).

Dedi mentioned that their resignation from PSI came at a time when the party was facing several issues.
 
These issues include the controversy over the suspected falsification of education documents by Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, the revelation of wiretapping scandals, and the ongoing trial regarding the fake diploma of the 7th President Joko Widodo.
 
According to Dedi, these conditions imply that the trio took steps to preserve their positions amidst a politically unfavorable situation for PSI.
 

"On another note, they appear opportunistic. They know PSI is in a threatened position within the cabinet; the falsification of Gibran's educational documents, the scandal's emergence, and the trial regarding Jokowi’s fake diplomas provide strong reasons for their fear as PSI cadres," he added.

Meanwhile, Dedi suspects that the departures of Giring, Isyana, and Raja Juli might also be perceived as a maneuver and gimmick by the Solo faction.
 
He suggested that it is possible PSI might have requested them or other cadres to resign and then constructed a narrative suggesting that they were under pressure.
