Prabowo Subianto Gibran Rakabuming Raka impeachment discourse social protection digitalization IPO survey

The administration of President Prabowo Subianto and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka is facing significant political scrutiny. Gerindra Party member Azis Subekti has addressed recent discussions regarding potential impeachment, asserting that any removal of the head of state must follow strict constitutional mechanisms outlined in Articles 7A and 7B of the 1945 Constitution, rather than being driven by political pressure.

Public sentiment regarding the leadership shows a notable divide. According to an Indonesia Political Opinion (IPO) survey conducted in mid-October 2026, President Prabowo holds a 61 percent satisfaction rate, with contributors including anti-corruption efforts and social assistance programs. In contrast, Vice President Gibran holds a 19 percent satisfaction rate, with no respondents reporting being ‘very satisfied’ with his performance.

On the policy front, the government is preparing to launch a digital social protection system on November 10, 2026. This initiative, announced by National Economic Council Chairman Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, aims to transition from product subsidies to direct cash transfers to ensure more equitable and targeted distribution of aid.
