The development comes as 120 members of Indonesia’s House of Representatives have proposed exercising their parliamentary right to express an opinion on Gibran, a move that could potentially lead to impeachment proceedings, Anadolu Agency reported.
Deputy Speaker Saan Mustopa said the proposal would be submitted to a parliamentary plenary session scheduled for Thursday.

State Secretary Minister Prasetyo Hadi said Tuesday that Gibran had informed President Prabowo Subianto of his intention to step down during a meeting lasting two and a half hours.
The reported resignation bid comes amid legal challenges at Indonesia’s Constitutional Court and Supreme Court concerning Gibran’s educational documents.
It remains unclear whether Prabowo has accepted the vice president’s resignation.
