Gibran Does Not Discuss Resignation Intent

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The resignation intentions of Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, noted by State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi, were not expressed directly by Gibran himself.

During a press conference at the State Palace in Jakarta on Tuesday (10/11/2026), Prasetyo mentioned that Gibran intends to resign, a statement made directly during a meeting with President Prabowo Subianto.

"In that discussion, Vice President Gibran, alongside President Prabowo Subianto, indicated his intention to resign in light of the dynamics surrounding the decisions from the Constitutional Court (MK) and the Supreme Court (MA)," Prasetyo added.

He also noted that Gibran requested Prabowo to allow him the opportunity to validate his problematic diploma, as highlighted in the Supreme Court (MA) and Constitutional Court (MK) rulings.

Prasetyo stated that during the 2.5-hour meeting, it was made clear that Prabowo did not reject Gibran's desire to resign.

However, Prabowo offered several pieces of advice regarding Gibran's resignation intentions.

"During the meeting, the President provided suggestions," Prasetyo said.

Gibran Ready to Fight

On the same day at the Vice President's Office, Gibran did not mention any intent to resign when approached by reporters.

Instead, Gibran expressed his readiness to fight, indicating that his efforts to prove the validity of his questioned diploma stemmed from suggestions made by President Prabowo.

"One of his suggestions was for me to continue to fight at the Administrative Court by presenting all documents from elementary school to my bachelor's degree," he revealed.

Gibran also stated that Prabowo advised him to coordinate with the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education (Kemendikdasmen) as the defendant to file for a judicial review (PK) in the Supreme Court.

"And also to coordinate with Kemendikdasmen to file for a PK in the MA," he added.

He expressed his deep respect for all aspirations, criticisms, and suggestions from the public regarding the ongoing dynamics.

"I do not want the current dynamics to turn into a prolonged political polemic," he asserted.
