PDI-P Surprised by Gibran's Actions: Wants to Resign but Seeks Time to Validate Educational Documents at PTUN

"However, in the discussion, the President provided advice, and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka requested the opportunity to prove the legitimacy of his documents in the court process at PTUN," Prasetyo stated.

This controversy is related to the MA's decision to grant the lawsuit for the annulment of Gibran's SMA equivalency certificate.

The document was previously used by Gibran to fulfill the requirements for his candidacy as vice president in the 2024 elections.

The decision is noted in the cassation case number 742 K/TUN/2026. The MA stated that it accepted the cassation, overturned the previous court ruling, and granted all demands of the plaintiff.

Meanwhile, the MK previously stated that the lawsuit regarding Gibran's educational qualifications for the 2024 presidential election was not admissible because the applicants did not have legal standing.

In its legal reasoning, the MK stated it found no documents showing that Gibran held a diploma, certificate, or equivalent as evidence of completing education abroad equivalent to SMA or its equivalent.

The MK also emphasized that the assessment of the validity and fulfillment of the presidential and vice-presidential candidate requirements is the authority of another institution.
