Indonesian V-P Gibran intends to resign amid calls for impeachment

Indonesian Vice-President Gibran Rakabuming Raka told President Prabowo Subianto on Nov 10 that he intends to resign from his post amid mounting efforts to impeach him.



State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi said that Gibran has also asked for a chance to prove in court the validity of his education documents – that he had completed senior high school which is a prerequisite under election laws to hold office – following a 2½-hour meeting between Gibran and Prabowo in the morning, which was reportedly held at the President's official residence.



Gibran “expressed his intention to resign in the face of developments relating to the Constitutional Court and Supreme Court decisions”, Prasetyo told reporters.



He said Gibran also asked to be given the opportunity via the State Administrative Court process to prove his educations documents are valid.
