Indonesian Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka has resigned following a Supreme Court ruling invalidating a campaign document.

Indonesian Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka has submitted his resignation following a Supreme Court decision invalidating a high-school document used during his 2024 campaign, according to an aide. The legal challenge prompted more than 100 lawmakers to back proceedings against him. The departure poses a potential challenge to President Prabowo Subianto's administration by signaling increased friction within the governing coalition. Gibran's exit removes a key figure from the executive branch less than a year into the current presidential term.
