The House of Representatives opted not to take up a petition to impeach Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka during Tuesday’s plenary session, a demand analysts say is unlikely to gain momentum anytime soon as the coalition aligned with President Prabowo Subianto and Gibran’s father, former president Joko “Jokowi” Widodo, remains united.
Former president Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s appearance during his recent birthday celebration has sparked renewed speculation about his health, and whether it played a role in his decision not to enter the race for the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) chairmanship.
President Prabowo Subianto’s direct involvement in recent issues between regional administrations, such as the border dispute between Aceh and North Sumatra, may be signs of waning decentralization in Indonesia, experts have argued.
Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka’s public complaint desk, Lapor Mas Wapres (Report to the Vice President), has resurfaced in public attention after months of relative silence and reported internal pushback within President Prabowo Subianto’s circle.
The former president appears to be gunning for a chance at helming the PSI, currently led by his youngest son Kasang Pangarep, rather than the PPP, another political party that failed to win any legislative seats in the 2024 election.
Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka is facing intensifying pressure as a group of retired military generals has formally petitioned the nation’s legislative bodies to begin impeachment proceedings against him, just as President Prabowo Subianto appears to be consolidating support from key figures once aligned with his political rivals.

The nascent party has no legislative seats, but it has a fair share of power within President Prabowo Subianto’s government.
