PAN Faction MPR RI: Gibran's Resignation Should Not Wait for PTUN Ruling

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The National Mandate Party (PAN) believes that the intention of Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka to resign should not be postponed while awaiting the decision of the State Administrative Court (PTUN) regarding the diploma controversy.

"I think there's no need to wait for the PTUN ruling anymore, because this has already gone through a very lengthy process, and it has received a decision from the Supreme Court. I believe this is a decision from the highest institution, and it is final," said the Chairman of the PAN faction in MPR RI, Sarifuddin Sudding, to Kompaks.com on Tuesday (10/11/2026).

Moreover, he urged Gibran to pay attention to the political dynamics currently unfolding in the DPR RI, where several legislators are gathering support regarding the right to express opinions.

Meanwhile, intensive communication between factions in the DPR continues to determine the next political stance regarding that dynamic.

"I think in the next day or two, these political communications will go well," he stated.

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

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

"In that discussion, Vice President Gibran, alongside President Prabowo Subianto, indeed stated his intention to resign in light of the ongoing dynamics related to the decisions from the Constitutional Court (MK) and the Supreme Court (MA)," Prasetyo said in a press conference at the Palace in Jakarta, Tuesday (10/11/2026).

In the 2.5-hour meeting, Prasetyo conveyed that President Prabowo did not reject Gibran's desire to resign.

However, during that meeting, Prabowo also offered suggestions to Gibran, which led the former Mayor of Solo to request more time to resolve the diploma controversy.
