00:01Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto says he has accepted Vice President Gibran Rakabumingraka's resignation with a heavy heart.
00:11Gibran submitted his resignation to Parliament's Upper House on Thursday, ending days of speculation over his political future.
00:19His father, former President Joko Widodo, has voiced support for Prabowo.
00:24That could ease signs of strain between Prabowo and his predecessor.
00:2839-year-old Gibran was elected alongside Prabowo in 2024.
00:33His candidacy drew accusations that Jokowi, then President, influenced a court ruling that changed election rules so Gibran could run.
00:43Now, the Upper House must formally declare the vacancy and ask the President for two replacement candidates.
00:49An election must be held within 60 days. Parliamentary leaders are expected to meet to discuss the next steps.
