PAN Reviews Court Ruling as Calls to Impeach Gibran Continue
Indonesia’s National Mandate Party, known as PAN, says it is reviewing a Constitutional Court decision about Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka’s education qualifications.
The challenge concerned the qualifications he met when registering for the 2024 presidential election.
The court did not accept the case.
People who brought the challenge are still seeking Gibran’s impeachment.
They plan to request meetings with the national legislature and political parties, and have also been in contact with the leadership of the Regional Representative Council.
Their lawyer says the House of Representatives is the first body with constitutional authority to initiate impeachment.
PAN says it wants to consider the court’s decision while putting national interests ahead of political power.
Indonesia’s National Mandate Party (PAN) says it is reviewing a Constitutional Court ruling concerning Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka’s education qualifications.
PAN deputy chair Viva Yoga said the party would consider the ruling carefully and put national interests ahead of political power.
A group that challenged Gibran’s eligibility has said it will seek meetings with the House of Representatives, the Regional Representative Council and the People’s Consultative Assembly.
The group’s representative Denny Indrayana called on the legislature to impeach Gibran.
