## Key points

- Gibran says he has submitted his resignation to Prabowo.
- The Supreme Court found no evidence of qualifying school credentials.
- The dispute adds pressure to an already strained political alliance.

## Summary

Vice-President Gibran Rakabuming Raka has submitted his resignation to President Prabowo Subianto, according to an aide, but it is not clear whether Prabowo has accepted it. The move follows a Supreme Court ruling that found no evidence that Gibran’s school credentials met the legal requirements for office, raising the prospect of impeachment proceedings and adding strain to the alliance behind Prabowo’s presidency.

More than 100 lawmakers backed a parliamentary initiative that could have led to impeachment proceedings. Gibran, who studied in Singapore and Australia, relied on an Indonesian equivalence certificate and has argued that his university studies showed he completed secondary school; he had asked for a chance to challenge the ruling. His 2024 candidacy followed a Constitutional Court decision allowing him to run at 36, below the usual minimum age of 40. The dispute unfolds amid tensions between Prabowo and Gibran’s father, former president Joko Widodo, as Prabowo shifts policy and personnel, while the government faces funding, environmental and market pressures.
