Vice President Resigns Amid Political Turmoil
Indonesia’s Vice President has submitted his resignation following questions regarding his academic background—amid growing discontent with the government.
The announcement comes after the country’s Supreme Court invalidated a document that had been used to verify Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka’s educational credentials.
According to the court, there is no evidence to support his claim of having earned a degree from an institution abroad. More than 100 members of parliament had previously backed an initiative that could have led to impeachment proceedings against the Vice President.
Indonesia is currently experiencing a period of significant political and economic unrest. In recent weeks, thousands of people across the country have protested against the government’s handling of issues including the environment, severe forest fires, and corruption.
Gibran Rakabuming Raka is the son of Indonesia’s former president, Joko Widodo.
