Gibran Reportedly Resigns, but DPR Steps Up Impeachment Process
Gibran Rakabuming Raka is reportedly to have submitted a letter of resignation from his post as Vice-President to President Prabowo Subianto. The report emerged as the DPR moved to accelerate the process for submitting a motion for the House to express its opinion (HMP) regarding Gibran’s impeachment.
Despite the resignation report, the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) said it would continue to pursue the HMP as long as the process had not reached its final stage.
“Mr Vice-President is free to do what he needs to. We in the DPR will continue with the HMP until the process is final,” PKS legislator Mardani Ali Sera told reporters on Thursday (12 November 2026).
Mardani said his side would continue to pursue the HMP, noting that Gibran’s resignation was not yet final.
“If the resignation is not final, we will continue with the HMP until the process is final,” he said.
Mardani added that his side would reconsider its course of action if Gibran’s resignation became final.
“If it is final, we will decide together what to do,” he added.
Gibran was earlier reported to have resigned as Vice-President, with the letter said to have been submitted to President Prabowo Subianto.
“Let’s just say it’s true,” Projo chairman Budi Arie said on Wednesday (11 November).
DPR accelerates impeachment process
Separately, the House of Representatives (DPR) has begun accelerating the process for submitting the HMP concerning Gibran. DPR leaders formally received the proposal from a number of legislators, and it is due to be read at a plenary session on Thursday (12 November).
A meeting to receive the HMP proposal was held on Wednesday (11 November) in the Commission VIII meeting room at the parliamentary complex in Senayan, Jakarta. It was chaired by Deputy Speakers Saan Mustopa and Cucun Ahmad Syamsurijal.
Saan said 120 legislators from eight factions had signed the proposal, based on the signatures submitted by representatives of the signatories.
“According to the representatives of each group of proposers, a total of 120 people have proposed this motion for the House to express its opinion, based on the signatures submitted. They are from eight of the factions,” Saan said.
He said DPR leaders would follow up the proposal shortly through a leadership meeting (rapim) and a meeting of the Deliberative Body (Bamus). He said the requirements for submitting the HMP had been met.
“The requirements have been met. The DPR leadership will therefore follow up the proposal as soon as possible. We will take the proposers’ motion to the DPR leadership for processing,” Saan said at the DPR building in Senayan, Jakarta, on Wednesday (11 November 2026).
Saan said the proposal would first be discussed at a DPR leadership meeting. The leadership would then discuss it at a Bamus meeting before deciding whether to refer it to the nearest plenary session.
“We will discuss it at a leadership meeting and then at the Bamus. We will decide whether to take it to a plenary session, and that would be the nearest plenary session,” he said.
