Indonesia’s Constitutional Court is ruling on a legal challenge to Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka’s 2024 election victory. Plaintiffs, led by a former deputy law minister, filed a petition last month arguing that Gibran’s overseas education credentials did not meet Indonesia’s eligibility requirements for the vice presidency.

Across reporting, the court’s decision centers on the documents submitted before the election and whether their alleged incompleteness affects his eligibility. Daily Maverick and Channel NewsAsia say the court dismisses the challenge, finding that issues raised about his education documents do not disqualify him. Daily Maverick adds that the court indicates questions about eligibility fall under other institutions rather than being grounds for voiding the election result.

Free Malaysia Today reports similarly, stating that petitioners cited Gibran’s foreign high school qualifications. The outlets collectively describe a rejection of the attempt to overturn the vice president’s election win, while differing on emphasis around the scope of responsibility across government bodies.
