Gibran Rakabuming Raka quits as Indonesian vice president
Gibran Rakabuming Raka submitted his resignation after courts ruled his overseas education papers failed election requirements, and no new national vote will follow.
Gibran Rakabuming Raka resigned after the Supreme Court and Constitutional Court ruled his overseas education documents did not meet election requirements.
Indonesian law requires vice-presidential candidates to have completed senior high school or an equivalent qualification.
More than 100 lawmakers backed a parliamentary initiative that could have led to impeachment proceedings before the resignation.
No new national election will be held. The People's Consultative Assembly must pick a successor within 60 days from two presidential nominees.
Accounts differ on how the letter was delivered, and one says Prabowo Subianto later accepted it.
