Indonesia court to rule on bid to annul vice president's election win

Indonesia’s Constitutional Court is due to deliver a late Tuesday ruling on a petition seeking to annul Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka’s election win over alleged gaps in his education record. The case could force him to lose office and further strain President Prabowo Subianto’s administration, which has already faced political tension with Prabowo’s predecessor Joko Widodo. Plaintiffs argue Gibran did not meet Indonesian eligibility rules requiring candidates to complete senior high school or an equivalent education level. Court hearings included experts, diplomatic officials, and the education ministry. Judges will focus on whether Gibran’s overseas credentials from Singapore and Australia were properly supported, including reliance on government equivalency certificates.
