Gibran Plans to Resign as Vice President, This is Ganjar's Response

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Chairperson of the PDI-P DPP and former 2024 presidential candidate Ganjar Pranowo responded to Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka's intention to resign from his post.

Ganjar stated that the public should respect Gibran's decision.

"Every citizen has the same rights. So it should just be respected," Ganjar told Kompas.com on Tuesday (10/11/2026).

Ganjar explained that the DPR has already responded with a proposal for a Right to Express Opinions (HMP) regarding the controversy surrounding Gibran's high school diploma.

He mentioned that several members of the DPR have already signed the HMP.

"The DPR has responded with HMP, and it seems the signatures from the members have started to roll in," he added.

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

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

"During that conversation, the Vice President, along with President Prabowo Subianto, expressed his intention to resign in light of the evolving dynamics concerning the decisions from the Constitutional Court (MK) and the Supreme Court (MA)," Prasetyo said at a press conference at the Palace in Jakarta on Tuesday (10/11/2026).

Prasetyo emphasized 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 offered advice to Gibran, leading the former Mayor of Solo to request more time to clarify the truth regarding the diploma controversy.
