JAKARTA — President of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) Almuzzammil Yusuf (AMY) stated that PKS continues to gather input from various public elements regarding Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka’s diploma controversy. He noted that the public demands this matter be addressed through legal and constitutional mechanisms within the House of Representatives (DPR RI).
AMY emphasized that following the Constitutional Court and Supreme Court rulings concerning Gibran’s credentials, it would be wise for Gibran to step down. Otherwise, invoking the Right to Express an Opinion (HMP) stands as the most relevant option for the DPR RI to pursue.
“Following the Constitutional Court and Supreme Court rulings regarding Gibran’s diploma, it would be wise for Mr. Gibran to resign as Vice President. If not, the exercise of the Right to Express an Opinion (HMP) by the DPR RI is the most relevant path to immediately carry out in accordance with constitutional provisions and applicable laws,” AMY said in a press statement in Jakarta on Monday (Nov 9, 2026).
According to AMY, exercising parliamentary powers must be done collectively through institutional mechanisms and inter-faction communication. PKS will continue building dialogue with various political forces in parliament to ensure public aspirations are discussed openly and responsibly.
“PKS cannot act alone. Communication and mutual understanding across parliamentary factions in the DPR RI are necessary. Most importantly, every step must hold a clear legal basis, prioritize the national interest, and uphold the dignity of state institutions,” AMY added.
