Jakarta (ANTARA) - Chairman of Projo, a pro-Jokowi volunteer organization, Budi Arie Setiadi confirmed Gibran Rakabuming Raka's resignation as Indonesia's vice president.

"That is correct," Setiadi said briefly when confirmed in Jakarta on Wednesday.

Previously, Deputy Speaker of the Indonesia's House of Representatives (DPR RI) Saan Mustopa said the proposal to exercise lawmakers' right to express an opinion (HMP) concerning VP Gibran Rakabuming Raka would be submitted to a plenary session scheduled on Thursday (Nov 12).

"We will forward the proposal to this plenary session tomorrow," Mustopa said at the parliamentary building earlier today.

A total of 120 DPR members have proposed their right as part of the impeachment process for Gibran, who is deemed no longer qualified to be the Indonesian VP.

The 120 House members supporting the HMP proposal comprised 14 from the PDI Perjuangan, 11 from Golkar, 11 from Gerindra, 19 from NasDem, 18 from PKB, 28 from PKS, one from PAN, and 18 from the Democratic Party.

Previously on Tuesday (Nov 10), the State Secretary Minister Prasetyo Hadi informed that Gibran submitted his intention to resign to President Prabowo Subianto in a 2.5-hour meeting.

Gibran conveyed his intention to resign amidst the legal challenges at the Constitutional Court (MK) and the Supreme Court (MA) regarding his educational documents.

"In the discussion, the VP expressed his intention to step down in response to the developing situation," Hadi said.

He then stated the Palace respects the political process in the House to exercise their right.

"It is certainly a political process that we must all respect," he remarked.

According to Hadi, the House and its members are entitled to exercise various rights in fulfilling their duties and functions as a legislative body.

"After all, both the DPR and the members have rights," Hadi said.
