Indonesia's Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka resigned Wednesday after a Supreme Court ruling declared his high-school credentials invalid, triggering a lawmaker-driven impeachment effort.
The Supreme Court said Gibran's certificate of equivalency was not proven, finding no evidence of a foreign diploma that could serve as senior secondary proof, which is required for the office, echoing a constitutional court opinion earlier this month.
More than 100 legislators have backed a parliamentary initiative that could launch impeachment proceedings, while the resignation letter was handed directly to President Prabowo Subianto, though it remains unclear if it has been accepted. Gibran has long contested the requirement, arguing that university attendance demonstrates secondary completion, and he has asked for another chance to validate his education.
