Gibran officially resigns, HMP plenary meeting canceled

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The House of Representatives (DPR) has canceled a plenary meeting scheduled to discuss a proposal to exercise its Right to Express an Opinion (HMP) following Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka's official submission of his resignation letter.

"The plenary meeting originally scheduled for November 12, 2026, at 2 p.m. Western Indonesian Time (WIB) has been canceled," read the cancellation notice, which ANTARA confirmed in Jakarta on Thursday.

The DPR had been scheduled to hold the plenary meeting on Thursday afternoon, with one of the agenda items being a discussion of the HMP proposal concerning Gibran's possible impeachment.

The HMP proposal had previously been submitted to the DPR leadership on Wednesday (November 11). At least 120 DPR members signed the proposal, arguing that Gibran no longer met the requirements to serve as vice president.

Meanwhile, Gibran personally submitted his resignation letter to the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) on Thursday afternoon.

Following receipt of the letter, the MPR immediately held a leadership meeting to discuss the matter.

DPR Commission II member Muhammad Khozin, who was also among the lawmakers behind the HMP proposal, confirmed the cancellation of the plenary meeting.

Khozin said he respected Gibran's decision to resign. He added that following Gibran's official resignation, the lawmakers' HMP proposal was no longer relevant and should not proceed.
