After Proposing Resignation, Gibran: I Do Not Want Current Political Dynamics to Drag On

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Vice President Gibran Rakabuming stated that he does not wish for the current political dynamics to drag on.

"I do not want the current dynamics to become a prolonged political controversy," Gibran expressed at the Vice Presidential Palace in Jakarta on Tuesday (10/11/2026).

He noted that he respects all aspirations and sentiments from the public regarding the ongoing situation.

"I respect all aspirations, criticisms, and suggestions from the public concerning the current dynamics," he added.

Earlier reports indicated that Gibran conveyed his desire to resign to President Prabowo Subianto amidst the scrutiny of his high school diploma.

The Palace previously confirmed that Vice President Gibran Rakabuming expressed his intention to step down from his position to President Prabowo during a morning meeting.

"In that discussion, Vice President, along with President Prabowo Subianto, stated his intention to resign in light of the unfolding dynamics related to the Constitutional Court (MK) and Supreme Court (MA) decisions," said State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi during a press conference at the Palace, Jakarta, on Tuesday (10/11/2026).

Prasetyo emphasized that the meeting lasted about 2.5 hours.

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

However, during the discussion, Prabowo also offered advice to Gibran, prompting the former Mayor of Solo to request more time to prove the validity of his educational credentials.

"However, during the discussion, the President provided suggestions, and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming requested an opportunity to validate the authenticity of his documents in the administrative court proceedings at the PTUN," he said.
