Indonesia's Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka has expressed his intention to resign from his position, State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi confirmed on Wednesday. Hadi said Gibran communicated his plans during a meeting with President Prabowo Subianto, though specific details regarding the timing of the resignation were not immediately disclosed.
Gibran, who is President Prabowo's running mate and nephew, assumed the vice presidency following their joint election victory in October 2024. His potential departure would mark a significant development in Indonesia's political landscape, coming less than a year into the administration's term.
The circumstances surrounding Gibran's decision to step down remain unclear. Officials have not elaborated on the reasons behind his stated intention or provided further information about next steps in the succession process.
No official resignation letter or formal announcement has been released, and it remains uncertain whether additional meetings or formalities are required before the resignation is finalized.
