Indonesia Supreme Court Accepts Appeal Over Gibran's School Certificate
Indonesia’s Supreme Court accepted an appeal challenging a high-school equivalency certificate held by Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka.
The case was brought by HM Subhan over the certificate used to meet the education requirement for the 2024 presidential election.
The appeal sought to have the certificate declared invalid and withdrawn from the education official who holds it.
Subhan said he received notice of the decision on October 30, 2026, but the court has not yet published the full ruling.
A former deputy law minister said the ruling found the certificate invalid, while the Supreme Court spokesperson said he had not yet received information about it.
The decision’s full details remain unconfirmed until the court releases its written ruling.
A separate Jakarta administrative court case was withdrawn by its plaintiff; Gibran had said he was ready to present documents at a hearing.
