"The Republic of Indonesia is a rule of law country based on the sovereignty of the people, as mandated in the 1945 Constitution, meaning that any exercise of state power, including filling the positions of president and vice president, must comply with constitutional provisions and legislation," said PDI-P faction secretary Dolfie Othniel Frederic Palit at the Senayan Parliamentary Complex, Jakarta, on Wednesday (11/11/2026).

The attending members of the House are those who signed the proposal for the Right to Express Opinion on Gibran.
Although only 14 people submitted the proposal, the PDI-P faction in the House of Representatives has agreed to take the Right to Express Opinion regarding the diploma and educational certificate of Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka.
PDI-P faction leader Utut Adianto stated that all members of the PDI-P faction convened to decide on this at the House of Representatives building, Senayan, Jakarta, on Wednesday (11/11/2026).
"This is a faction plenary meeting, out of 110 members, 102 were present, and 8 were absent due to permission or illness. This means we exchanged opinions and have taken a political stance to follow the constitutional path. We are not counting how many, but the PDI-P faction declares that we will take the constitutional route with the Right to Express Opinion," Utut said at the House of Representatives building on Wednesday.
"We agreed because we are the header of democracy, and our democracy is guided. So everyone is in accord," he added.
Utut explained that the considerations for this action by the PDI-P are based on Article 7A and Article 7B of the 1945 Constitution, which regulate the legal basis and procedures for the removal (impeachment) of the President and/or Vice President during their term.
