Discourse on Right to Express Opinions Against Gibran Rolls Out in DPR

"Yes, there’s no problem with that. In my opinion," Saan said, when met at the Senayan Parliament Complex, Jakarta, on Tuesday (10/11/2026).

Saan believes that the political processes in the DPR and Gibran's legal challenges through the court can proceed simultaneously and will not hinder the constitutional rights of DPR members to propose HMP.

Because, Saan stated, DPR members have the basis to propose HMP, namely the decisions of the Constitutional Court (MK) and the Supreme Court (MA) regarding the diploma controversy surrounding Gibran.

"After all, our members also have that basis, which is the decisions of the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court," Saan explained.

Margarito Kamis: Only a Miracle Can Save Gibran

Constitutional law expert Margarito Kamis stated that only a political miracle could save Gibran.

Legally, Gibran's legitimacy is considered over after the certificate (Suket) validating his diploma qualifications for the vice-presidential candidacy in 2024 was declared void by the Supreme Court (MA).

"From a legal perspective, it's done, just waiting for a political miracle," Margarito said during a Kompas.com newsroom discussion on Tuesday (10/11/2026).

According to Margarito, if Gibran wishes to remain as Vice President, he must charm and engage with lawmakers.

This member of the Presidential Advisory Council noted that talking to President Prabowo Subianto is actually a misdirected effort.

"In other words, the issue currently surrounding Mr. Gibran, viewed from the constitutional perspective, does not fall within the presidential framework that necessitates addressing it," he added.

"The president is outside of this issue according to the constitution," he reiterated.
