Indonesia's Vice President Resigns Over Education Controversy5 publishers · first seen Tue, 10 Nov 2026 14:01 UTC · updated Thu, 12 Nov 2026 14:22 UTCIndonesia's Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka resigned on Thursday amid controversy over his educational qualifications. The resignation comes after the Supreme Court ruled that a high-school document used during his 2024 election campaign was invalid. President Prabowo Subianto accepted Raka's resignation, praising him for acting 'for a greater cause, for the interests of the nation, the state and the people of Indonesia.' The resignation does not affect Prabowo's position. Under Indonesia's constitution, the president continues to govern if the vice-presidency becomes vacant. The People's Consultative Assembly must then convene a session to elect a new vice-president. The replacement will be chosen from two candidates nominated by the president.Content auto-generated.
