Indonesia's Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka will step down from his position, with his resignation expected to be filed with the country's legislature on Thursday, a spokesperson confirmed.
The formal submission of his resignation letter to the Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat (DPR), Indonesia's lower house of parliament, is scheduled for the morning session, marking an unexpected development in the administration.
The resignation comes as a significant political development in Southeast Asia's largest economy. Gibran, who assumed office following the 2024 presidential elections, had previously served as the mayor of Solo in Central Java before his elevation to the vice presidency.
The circumstances surrounding the sudden resignation announcement remain unclear, with few additional details provided by the Vice President's office at this stage. The move is expected to trigger constitutional procedures for addressing the vacancy in the position.
