Previously, the palace confirmed that Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka had expressed his desire to resign from the vice presidency to President Prabowo Subianto.

Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi mentioned that Gibran conveyed this during a meeting with President Prabowo earlier that morning.

"In that discussion, Vice President Gibran, together with President Prabowo Subianto, he expressed his intention to resign in light of the evolving dynamics related to decisions from the Constitutional Court (MK) and the Supreme Court (MA)," said Prasetyo at a press conference at the palace in Jakarta on Tuesday (10/11/2026).

Prasetyo clarified that the meeting lasted about 2.5 hours.

During the meeting, he stated that President Prabowo did not reject Gibran's desire to resign.

However, during the discussion, Prabowo also offered advice to Gibran, which led the former Mayor of Solo to ask for more time to prove the truth regarding the controversy surrounding his diploma.
