Story summary

Gibran Rakabuming Raka, son of former President Joko Widodo, offered his resignation as Indonesia's Vice-President during a meeting with President Prabowo Subianto on Tuesday, amid questions about his eligibility due to incomplete education documents. The 39-year-old VP helped Prabowo win the 2024 election but is now facing scrutiny over potential disqualification from office. House Speaker Puan Maharani stated that lawmakers are considering a probe into Raka’s qualifications, following a one-month recess during which many opinions were received on his eligibility. State Secretariat Minister Prasetyo Hadi confirmed that President Prabowo advised Raka to "continue pursuing legal avenues" to defend his academic credentials but did not immediately accept the resignation offer.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
