MPR Ready to Receive Gibran

JAKARTA — Deputy Speaker of the People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR) Bambang Wuryanto, widely known as Bambang Pacul, said he was ready to receive Gibran Rakabuming Raka. Gibran’s reported visit is said to concern his resignation as Vice-President.

“It’s all ready, just wait a little longer,” Bambang told reporters on Thursday (12 November 2026).

Bambang said he was prepared to receive Gibran at the MPR, but did not confirm what time he would arrive. “Later, later. If we have a guest, we’ll receive them,” said the PDI-P politician.

Bambang did not answer questions about whether Gibran had submitted a resignation letter or whether the MPR would hold a meeting regarding the reports of his resignation.

MPR Chairman Ahmad Muzani also confirmed that Gibran was expected at the assembly. However, he said he was still waiting to find out whether Gibran would submit a resignation letter or had another purpose for the visit.
