PDI-P Responds to Gibran's Admission of Feeling Burdened Over Disappointing the Party

"I had to delegate tasks related to the challenges faced by the community," he added.

Gibran also confessed that he had no plans, nor had he ever dreamed of becoming a Vice President.

However, it was Prabowo himself who approached him in September 2023 and offered him the candidacy for Vice President in the 2024 election.

"In the end, I accepted the call with the belief that young people must be brave enough to take risks for broader service," said Gibran, who is Indonesia's youngest Vice President.

Gibran emphasized that his decision to run as Vice President was based on good intentions, especially for the youth of Indonesia.

"However, this call and trust came with good intentions, and a crucial message about the continuity of national development, the importance of embracing the younger generation, and uniting various elements for the nation's future," he said.

This statement was made by Gibran in a video posted on YouTube after submitting his resignation from the Vice Presidential position to the MPR RI on Thursday morning (12/10/2026).
