Indonesia's Vice President Gibran Rakaboming Raka has resigned amid legal challenges and impeachment proceedings over his academic credentials.

According to Reuters, the 39-year-old Jibran submitted his resignation to President Prabowo Subianto and Parliament on November 12, which the president accepted.

Interestingly, Vice President Gibran has given the reason for his resignation as private engagements and a very personal decision, however, he resigned after the equivalent of his educational degree was revoked.

Indonesian President Prabowo also appreciated the services of his vice president and said that he left the post in the interest of the country.

The credentials dispute escalated when Indonesia's Constitutional Court and Supreme Court ruled last month that documents relating to Gibran's secondary education abroad did not meet legal requirements for election eligibility.
