"There’s no use (proving at the PTUN). Because the Supreme Court's decision is final. The material is the same," said Yusril.

Resignation news resurfacing

Reports of Gibran's resignation reemerged on Wednesday (11/11/2026) afternoon. This time, information circulating claims that Gibran has handed a resignation letter to Prabowo at Halim Perdanakusuma Air Base in East Jakarta.

However, nothing has been confirmed about this report, except that Projo Chairman Budi Arie Setiadi affirmed the information.

"That's correct," said Budi Arie.

However, Budi Arie did not provide further explanations regarding the timing of the submission, the letter’s content, or any follow-up after the letter was delivered.

As of Wednesday evening, no official comments from Prabowo or Gibran have clarified the status of the letter and the subsequent processes.

Amid these reports, Gibran was also not seen accompanying Prabowo at the 15th anniversary celebration of the Nasdem Party at Nasdem Tower on Wednesday night.

This was in contrast to Gibran's previous appearances alongside Prabowo at several party events, such as the 28th anniversary of the National Mandate Party at JCC Senayan on September 18, 2026.

During the Nasdem event, Prabowo conveyed a message about life choices. He stated that everyone ultimately must choose the right path, even if it is filled with obstacles, or the wrong path, which seems easier.

“Every human must eventually choose; everyone will reach a point where they see that the road splits. The right road, but full of obstacles. This road is comfortable and fast. But it is the wrong road,” said Prabowo.

No statements were made linking Prabowo’s remarks directly with Gibran's resignation news.

No one denies or confirms

Amid the rumors of the resignation letter, several political elites present at the 15th anniversary of Nasdem were also asked for their responses.

Chairman of the MPR and Secretary General of the Gerindra Party Ahmad Muzani admitted he had not heard any information regarding it.

"I haven’t heard, I haven’t seen it," said Muzani.

Deputy Speaker of the House Sufmi Dasco Ahmad also claimed he learned about Gibran's resignation from news quoting Budi Arie's statement.

"Like my friends, I also just read in the media, that there’s news from Pak Budi Arie. As for the others, I'm still not aware. That's all," said Dasco.

Dasco stated that he had briefly met Prabowo at the event. However, according to him, there was no discussion regarding Gibran's resignation.

"We met Pak Prabowo here; there was no discussion as conveyed," he stated.

Movement in the House of Representatives

As news of Gibran's resignation continued to circulate, other developments emerged from the House of Representatives. A total of 120 House members from eight factions have signed a proposal to use the Right to Express Opinion regarding the diploma controversy surrounding Gibran.

The leadership of the House has decided to take this proposal to a plenary meeting on Thursday (11/12/2026).

"So, we will process this in leadership, bring it to the leadership meeting of the House, and later to the deliberative body or consultative meeting replacing the Bamus," said Deputy Speaker of the House, Saan Mustofa.

Deputy Speaker of the House Sufmi Dasco Ahmad revealed that the House will hold a plenary session on Thursday (11/12/2026) afternoon.
