DPR members debate a special inquiry into Gibran’s education credentials

Lawmakers in Indonesia are debating how to follow up on a court ruling about Gibran Rakabuming’s education qualifications for the 2024 vice-presidential election.

Some support creating a special committee to investigate the issue.

Others say the parliamentary committee should question election officials, while some parties have not decided their position.

The debate matters because lawmakers are weighing how to check the facts while respecting the court’s ruling.
