Jakarta (ANTARA) - Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka said President Prabowo Subianto had encouraged him to continue defending the authenticity of his academic credentials, including by pursuing legal action through the State Administrative Court (PTUN).

"One of his suggestions is that I should continue fighting at PTUN by presenting all my documents from elementary school to undergraduate education," he told reporters at the Vice Presidential Palace in Jakarta on Tuesday afternoon.

Gibran was referring to a meeting with the president earlier that morning, during which they discussed several current issues, including the ongoing public debate over the validity of his diplomas.

The vice president also said he would coordinate with the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education to seek a judicial review at the Supreme Court (MA).

He emphasized that he respected all public aspirations, criticism, and suggestions regarding his educational documents.

"I do not wish to see the current dynamics turn into prolonged political polemics," he said.

Earlier on Tuesday, State Secretary Minister Prasetyo Hadi revealed that the vice president had expressed his desire to resign during a meeting with Prabowo that lasted around 2.5 hours.

"The vice president, during his discussion with Mr. President Prabowo Subianto, did confirm his intention to resign in response to the current developments," Hadi told reporters at the Presidential Palace Complex.

He dismissed claims that the head of state had outright rejected Gibran's wish to step down from the vice presidency.

Without disclosing the president's decision, Hadi said Prabowo had provided the vice president with inputs and suggestions on how to respond to the current developments surrounding the diploma issue.
