150 Professors Demand Gibran's Resignation, Here's the Response from Jokowi-Prabowo-Gibran Volunteers

David Pajung, representing the Jokowi–Prabowo–Gibran Volunteer Coalition, responded to the push from 150 professors for Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka to step down. He reckons the demand has no legal basis since Gibran was legitimately elected through the 2024 Presidential Election, backed by about 58 percent of the vote or more than 90 million voters along with President Prabowo Subianto. David stressed that any resignation process has to follow the constitution. He pointed to Articles 7 through 7B of the 1945 Constitution from its fourth amendment and said a professors’ forum with roughly a hundred members doesn't measure up to the number of voters who brought the Prabowo–Gibran pair to victory. Earlier, the DPP PDIP received an open letter from the Indonesian Professors Forum titled "Safeguarding the Dignity of the Constitution, State Ethics, and National Leadership Legitimacy." PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto mentioned the letter contains criticism about role modeling, ethics, and how Gibran’s candidacy came about, hoping President Prabowo and parties in the DPR would take it to heart. https://www.harianaceh.co.id/2026/10/25/150-guru-besar-desak-gibran-mundur-ini-tanggapan-relawan-jokowi-prabowo-gibran/
