Jakarta, Indonesia – From culinary entrepreneur to Indonesian vice president, Gibran Rakabuming Raka has reinvented himself many times and is rarely far from controversy.

On Thursday, the 39-year-old’s term in office ended after just two years as a scandal over his high school diploma proved to be the last nail in his political coffin.

Raka is the eldest son of former President Joko Widodo, also known as Jokowi — the predecessor to incumbent President Prabowo Subianto.
