Indonesia's vice president Gibran Rakabuming Raka resigns over education documents
Indonesia's vice president, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, has quit after courts found the documents regarding his overseas education he submitted didn't meet the requirements for the job.
He handed in his resignation on November 12 to help avoid a prolonged political controversy.
Indonesia's parliament to pick vice president
President Prabowo Subianto accepted Raka's decision and thanked him for his work so far.
Now, parliament has 60 days to pick a new vice president from Prabowo's nominees.
Raka's time in office was already controversial (he'd faced criticism for getting special treatment due to his family ties and age), so this latest twist is sparking even more talk about fairness and transparency in Indonesian politics.
