Gibran Rakabuming Raka faces Constitutional Court lawsuit over education credentials

Gibran Rakabuming Raka Constitutional Court educational requirements Indonesian politics lawsuit

A legal challenge has been filed at the Constitutional Court regarding the educational requirements of Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka. The lawsuit, led by a team including Denny Indrayana, Refly Harun, and Bambang Widjojanto, questions the validity of his documentation.

Under PKPU Number 19 of 2023, candidates are generally required to provide proof of secondary education. However, regulations allow for an exemption for candidates who attended schools abroad and possess higher education credentials instead of high school diplomas.

Supporters of the Vice President have responded to the legal action. The GI-JOE volunteer group, led by Benny Parapat, criticized the lawsuit as an inappropriate political maneuver that disregards the 2024 election results. Additionally, volunteer groups have submitted amicus curiae documents to the Constitutional Court to support Gibran. Political analysts have also weighed in, with some noting the political implications of Gibran's status as the son of former President Joko Widodo.
