Indonesia’s Vice-President Gibran Rakabuming Raka has submitted his resignation, an aide has told the BBC, in a move which could further strain the political alliance that helped propel President Prabowo Subianto to power.

It comes after Indonesia’s Supreme Court ruled that a high-school document used during Gibran’s 2024 election campaign was invalid.

The ruling prompted more than 100 lawmakers to support a parliamentary initiative that could have paved the way for proceedings to impeach Gibran.
