Gibran Reveals Prabowo Also Suggested Filing a Judicial Review at the Supreme Court

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Indonesian Vice President Gibran Rakabuming revealed that President Prabowo Subianto offered several suggestions during their meeting on Tuesday morning (10/11/2026).

"He provided many recommendations and input regarding the current dynamics," Gibran said at a press conference at the Vice Presidential Palace in Jakarta.

The former Mayor of Solo disclosed that Prabowo urged him to coordinate with the Ministry of Education and Culture to file for a judicial review (PK) regarding the Supreme Court's (MA) decision concerning the controversy surrounding his diploma.

Additionally, Prabowo reportedly encouraged Gibran to continue fighting concerning the diploma issue currently in litigation at the Jakarta Administrative Court (PTUN).

"One of his suggestions was for me to remain determined at the PTUN by presenting all documents from elementary school through to university, and also to coordinate with the Ministry of Education and Culture for filing a PK in the Supreme Court," he stated.

According to Gibran, the messages from the Head of State were conveyed during their meeting earlier this morning.

"As you all in the media know, this morning I met with the President. He has become like a father to me," he remarked.

Furthermore, he expressed his respect for all aspirations, criticisms, and suggestions from the public regarding the ongoing situation.

"I do not want the current dynamics to become a prolonged political polemic," he emphasized.

Gibran Expresses Desire to Resign

Amid the controversy surrounding his high school diploma, Gibran conveyed his wish to resign to President Prabowo Subianto.

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

"In that conversation, Vice President Gibran, along with President Prabowo Subianto, stated his intention to resign in light of the developing dynamics related to decisions from the Constitutional Court (MK) and the Supreme Court (MA)," Secretary of State Prasetyo Hadi said at a press conference at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta on Tuesday.

Prasetyo affirmed that the meeting lasted approximately 2.5 hours.

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

However, during the discussion, Prabowo also provided recommendations to Gibran, leading the former Mayor of Solo to request additional time to prove his diploma's legitimacy.
