Despite Gibran’s Resignation, Mardani Says DPR Will Continue Processing HMP Until His Status Is Clear

Jakarta — Reports have recently emerged that Gibran Rakabuming Raka is resigning as vice-president, prompting a response from Mardani Ali Sera, a member of the House of Representatives’ (DPR) Commission II from the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) faction.

Projo chairman Budi Arie confirmed the reports that Gibran was stepping down on Wednesday (11 November 2026).

Mardani said the DPR would continue processing the proposal for the right to express an opinion (HMP) concerning Gibran’s possible impeachment. The process would continue until there was an official statement from Gibran or the government about the former Solo mayor’s resignation.

“We will continue the HMP process until the vice-president’s status is clear,” he said.

Asked about reports that Gibran’s resignation letter would be submitted the following day, Mardani reiterated that the DPR would continue processing the HMP.

“Gibran is free to do what he needs to do. We in the DPR will continue with the HMP until the process is final. If the resignation is not final, we will keep the HMP process moving,” he said.

Earlier, Projo chairman Budi Arie Setiabudi confirmed reports that Gibran Rakabuming Raka was resigning as vice-president. He made the confirmation when contacted by reporters on Wednesday (11 November 2026).

“(Gibran is resigning) correct,” Budi Arie said.

Budi Arie also confirmed that Gibran’s resignation letter had been handed over during a meeting at Halim Perdanakusuma Air Force Base.

“(It was handed over at Halim) correct,” he said.

Previously, the Presidential Palace confirmed that Indonesian Vice-President Gibran Rakabuming had conveyed to President Prabowo Subianto his intention to resign from office.

State Secretary Minister Prasetyo Hadi said Gibran raised the matter when he met President Prabowo that morning.

“In that discussion, the Vice-President told President Prabowo Subianto of his intention to resign in response to the evolving situation surrounding decisions by the Constitutional Court (MK) and the Supreme Court (MA),” Prasetyo said at a press conference at the Palace in Jakarta on Tuesday (10 November 2026).

Prasetyo said the meeting lasted about two and a half hours.
