JAKARTA, INDONESIAN POST — Indonesia’s House of Representatives canceled a plenary session scheduled to consider a motion to exercise its right to express an opinion after Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka formally submitted his resignation.
“The plenary session originally scheduled for November 12, 2026, at 2 p.m. Western Indonesia Time has been canceled,” the cancellation notice said. The Antara news agency confirmed the notice in Jakarta on Thursday.
The House had been scheduled to meet Thursday afternoon, with a motion to exercise its right to express an opinion on Gibran’s impeachment among the items on the agenda.
House leaders received the motion on Wednesday, November 11. At least 120 lawmakers signed it, arguing that Gibran no longer met the requirements to serve as vice president.
Gibran, meanwhile, personally delivered his resignation letter to the People’s Consultative Assembly on Thursday afternoon.
The assembly immediately convened a meeting of its leaders to discuss the letter.
Muhammad Khozin, a member of House Commission II and one of the motion’s sponsors, confirmed that the plenary session had been canceled.
Khozin said he respected Gibran’s decision to resign and that pursuing the motion was no longer relevant following his resignation.
