Jakarta (ANTARA) - Indonesia's People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) will discuss Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka's resignation letter on Thursday and determine the next steps, its speaker Ahmad Muzani said.
"The MPR leadership will meet today to discuss the resignation, followed by a joint meeting with faction leaders and the Regional Representatives Council (DPD) to decide on the next steps," Muzani told reporters.
He said the MPR had up to 60 days after Gibran's resignation to appoint a new vice president.President Prabowo Subianto, meanwhile, has 14 days after receiving the MPR's request letter to submit two vice-presidential candidates to replace Gibran.
Gibran personally submitted his resignation letter to the MPR during a meeting that lasted about 20 minutes.
Muzani said Gibran did not explain his reasons for resigning during the meeting.
On Wednesday, Nov. 11, all political party factions in the House of Representatives (DPR) formally submitted a motion to exercise their right to express an opinion (HMP), initiating impeachment proceedings against Gibran over questions about his high school credentials.
On Tuesday, Nov. 10, State Secretary Minister Prasetyo Hadi said Gibran had conveyed his intention to resign to Prabowo during a meeting lasting two and a half hours.
Gibran expressed his intention to step down amid legal challenges at the Constitutional Court (MK) and Supreme Court (MA) concerning his educational documents.
"During the discussion, the vice president expressed his intention to step down in response to the developing situation," Hadi said, adding that the presidential palace respected the House's political process and its exercise of constitutional rights.
He said the DPR and its members were entitled to exercise various rights in carrying out their legislative duties and functions.
"After all, both the DPR and its members have rights," Hadi said.
