Indonesian VP Gibran quits, threatening President Prabowo’s coalition | The World | ABC News
Indonesia’s Vice-President Gibran Rakabuming Raka has resigned in a move that could spell the end of a political alliance between the president and his predecessor. The 39-year-old son of former president Joko Widodo had been facing calls to resign for weeks after court rulings over his educational qualifications. Mr Gibran’s decision comes amid a widening rift between President Prabowo Subianto and former president Joko Widodo, often called Jokowi.
Vedi Hadiz, professor of Asian studies at the University of Melbourne, spoke to The World’s Girish Sawlani about the political drama playing out in Jakarta.
