DPR's Public Aspirations Agency Receives Protesters Demanding Gibran's Resignation

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The House of Representatives' Public Aspirations Agency (BAM DPR RI) received a delegation from the Justice Movement (Gema Keadilan) demonstrators who urged Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka to resign or face impeachment.

The protesters, who previously demonstrated in front of the parliament complex, demanded that the DPR fulfill its function to address the controversy surrounding Gibran's diploma, following the Supreme Court (MA) ruling and the Constitutional Court (MK) legal considerations.

"I believe this relates to the future of democracy and the constitution in our country, concerning the diploma. The Constitutional Court has ruled that the Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, does not possess a high school diploma. Therefore, GEMA Keadilan conveys this aspiration," stated Zaki Ahmad Rifai, the Deputy Chair of DPP Gema Keadilan, during a meeting with BAM DPR RI leaders and members on Tuesday (10/11/2026).

Zaki stated that the demonstrators demanded Gibran's resignation as a form of compliance with the legal consequences of the MA and MK rulings.

"Therefore, the DPP of GEMA Keadilan and all ranks demand that the Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia act gentlemanly by resigning, in acknowledgment of the legal ruling," he emphasized.

While awaiting this, Zaki and the protest representatives also requested the DPR RI to carry out its function to follow up on the court's decisions.

The meeting took place in the BAM DPR room, Nusantara II Building, Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on Tuesday (10/11/2026).

The Gema Keadilan representatives were received directly by BAM DPR Chair Ahmad Heryawan, accompanied by Vice Chair Adian Napitupulu and several other BAM DPR RI members.

"As aspirations from various civil society groups, today we will listen to the aspirations from Gema Keadilan," said Aher.

Moreover, calls for Gibran to resign or be impeached gained strength following the issuance of the MA and MK rulings concerning Gibran's educational qualifications for the 2024 presidential election.

MA and MK Ruling Related to Gibran

The MA granted the cancellation lawsuit against Gibran's high school diploma equivalency certificate used for his candidacy as Vice President in the 2024 election.

This decision is recorded under cassation case number 742 K/TUN/2026. In its ruling, the MA declared the cassation accepted, revoking the previous court's ruling, and upheld all of the plaintiff's claims.

Meanwhile, the MK previously stated that the petition concerning Gibran's educational qualifications for the 2024 presidential election was not admissible due to the applicants' lack of legal standing.

However, in its legal considerations, the MK noted that it found no documents proving that Gibran possesses a diploma, certificate, or any credential verifying that he graduated from an overseas institution equivalent to high school.

The MK also emphasized that the assessment regarding the validity and fulfillment of qualifications for presidential and vice-presidential candidates falls under the jurisdiction of other institutions.
