Jakarta (ANTARA) - Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka offered little explanation when submitting his resignation letter to the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR), its speaker Ahmad Muzani said on Thursday.

Gibran personally handed over the letter during a 20-minute meeting with MPR leaders at the parliamentary complex in Jakarta.

"He did not say much. He explained that the purpose of his visit was to submit his resignation letter and request that the Assembly immediately process his resignation," Muzani told a press conference.

Muzani said Gibran did not explain his reasons for resigning during the meeting.

The MPR will immediately process the resignation letter, with its leadership scheduled to meet later on Thursday.

"This will enable the MPR to promptly hold a joint meeting with leaders of its parliamentary factions and the Regional Representatives Council (DPD) groups to determine the next steps," he said.

Muzani added that the MPR had up to 60 days from the date of Gibran's resignation to appoint a permanent replacement.

Separately, President Prabowo Subianto has 14 days after the MPR issues its request letter to submit two candidates to replace Gibran as vice president.
