Indonesia.0:02Vice President signals exit while lawmakers organize.0:07Gibran wants to leave office while fighting to defend his education credentials.0:11State Secretary Presetiohadi says Indonesia's vice president told the president he0:15intends to resign.0:15Gibran continues carrying out his duties.0:18While lawmakers organize a challenge that could lead to his removal, the unresolved0:21issue is which path moves forward first.0:24A formal resignation, his legal challenge, or parliament's push.0:27Gibran Rakabuming Raka met President Prabovo Subionto for about two and a half0:32hours.0:32Presetiohadi said, Gibran raised stepping down and asked for an opportunity to prove0:36his education documents were valid through the state administrative court.0:39Precitio also rejected the claim that Prabovo had blocked his deputy from leaving.0:44He said, It is not true that during the meeting, the president expressed or conveyed0:48any rejection of that intention.0:49Gibron remains in office while pursuing his response to the court decisions.0:53Jakarta hosted both the presidential discussion and demands for parliamentary action0:57on November10 .0:58The morning meeting took place as parliament returned from a month.1:01Long recess, with lawmakers preparing a formal challenge and small groups protesting1:06outside its gates.1:06Tibran's education documents helped qualify him for the2020 four vice presidential1:11election.1:12Indonesian election law requires completion of senior high school or an equivalent1:16qualification.1:17The dispute therefore reaches beyond his political reputation to a requirement for1:21holding office.1:22Two earlier court decisions explain why that question has become urgent.1:26The Constitutional Court dismissed an eligibility petition on October sixth, but1:30said it found no document showing equivalent overseas high school completion.1:34On October thirty, the Supreme Court invalidated the high school equivalency1:38certificate Gibran used for his two thousand and twenty-four candidacy.1:42Gibran says Probo advised him to keep fighting in the state administrative court and1:46seek review of the Supreme Court ruling.1:48He also described Proboa as being like a father to him.1:51Those are the legal steps he wants to pursue.1:53He hasn't announced a new review hearing.1:55His actual father is former president Joko Widoto.1:58Resignation discussion comes amid reported strains between Widotto and Proboo.2:02Gabron's stated response, though, is to continue the credentials fight while2:06lawmakers collect support for a separate parliamentary process.2:09Mardani Ali Sera shared an image of documents proposing a formal motion of opinion.2:13House Speaker Puan Maharani acknowledged receiving a report of a proposal from2:17several members and said follow-up would come after the parliamentary session2:20opened.2:21Signature forms have reportedly circulated since November7.2:24The proposal uses the House's right to state a formal opinion, known as Hakman2:28Yatakan Pendapat or HMP.2:30Indonesia's MD3 law sets the procedures.2:33Support must cross faction lines before the proposal can advance through the House.2:37At least twenty-five of the House's five hundred and eighty members must sign to2:40initiate the motion.2:41That's about four point three percent of the chamber.2:43Those signatures must come from more than one of its eight factions.2:46Removal requires much broader support.2:48The House referral vote requires at least two-thirds of all members to attend, and2:52two-thirds of those present to approve.2:55That means at least three hundred and eighty-seven members attending.2:57With that minimum attendance, two hundred and fifty eight yes votes would suffice.3:01If all five hundred and eighty attend, approval requires three hundred eighty-seven3:04votes.3:05These are conditional thresholds.3:07The constitutional court would then have to find a qualifying ground, such as a3:10serious legal breach or lost eligibility.3:13The People's Consultative Assembly would decide removal, requiring a three-quarters3:17quorum and approval from two thirds of those present.3:20Gibran's opponents are also pressing their demands outside Parliament.3:23Scattered demonstrations have followed the October sixth court decision.3:26On November10 , several small groups gathered at the gates asking lawmakers to begin3:30impeachment.3:31Their banners read, Number Gibran out and impeach Gibrand.3:34Mary Samiri coordinated around a dozen women, calling themselves the National3:37Coalition of Indonesian Women.3:39She said her group had protested outside Parliament for twenty-one days and3:42collected signatures supporting Gibrand's resignation or dismissal.3:45They demanded integrity and competence.3:48The next concrete step could be a formal resignation, a parliamentary advance backed3:52across factions, or action on Gibrand's planned legal challenge.3:55He continues working as vice president.3:57Lawmakers haven't announced a complete cross, faction signature tally, or a date for4:01a vote.Story timelineHeyDex
