Jakarta – Indonesia’s parliament reconvened on Tuesday with lawmakers weighing the possibility of a probe into the eligibility of Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, amid a widening political rift between his influential father and President Prabowo Subianto.
As son of the hugely popular two-term former President Joko Widodo, Gibran helped Prabowo win the 2024 election by a huge margin, but some lawmakers are seeking to investigate whether his incomplete education documents disqualify him as vice president.
House Speaker Puan Maharani said many opinions on the issue of Gibran’s eligibility had been received during a one-month recess, and the next steps would be discussed.
