BALINEWSID.COM, JAKARTA – Indonesian House of Representatives Commission III Chairman Habiburokhman said Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka had submitted his resignation letter to the People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR) at around 11 a.m. on Thursday (Nov. 12, 2026).
Habiburokhman made the statement during a working meeting between Commission III and National Police Chief Gen. Suyudi Ario Seto at the Parliament Complex in Senayan, Jakarta. The meeting focused on law enforcement efforts concerning alleged illegal wiretapping targeting President Prabowo Subianto.
The statement came as Habiburokhman invited Commission III member Benny K. Harman to speak after the police chief presented an update on the case.
Habiburokhman said Benny should speak first because he was scheduled to attend an MPR event.
“Next, our colleague, Mr. Benny K. Harman, since he will be attending an MPR event later, is invited to speak first,” Habiburokhman said.
He then made the remark about Gibran’s alleged resignation.
“Apparently, Gibran is submitting his resignation at 11 a.m. today, sir,” Habiburokhman said, prompting a commotion among meeting participants.
Earlier, Projo Chairman Budi Arie Setiadi had also claimed that Gibran had resigned from his position as vice president. He made the statement on Wednesday (Nov. 11).
However, MPR Chairman Ahmad Muzani said he had neither heard about nor seen any resignation letter from Gibran.
Muzani said the MPR could not make any decision regarding the matter without receiving official information or seeing the alleged document.
“I haven’t heard about it, and I haven’t seen it. I haven’t even heard about it, let alone seen it,” Muzani told reporters after attending the 15th anniversary celebration of the NasDem Party at NasDem Tower in Jakarta on Wednesday evening.
As of Thursday, the claims regarding Gibran’s resignation had yet to receive official confirmation from the MPR.
