  "account": "Indonesia's Vice-President Gibran Rakabuming Raka formally submitted his resignation letter to the parliamentary Upper House on Thursday, concluding days of speculation about his future in the Cabinet. The 39-year-old son of former President Joko \"Jokowi\" Widodo came under intense pressure to resign after the country's Constitutional Court and Supreme Court ruled separately that his education documents did not meet election requirements. Upon arriving at the parliamentary complex in Jakarta, Gibran was immediately surrounded by journalists who refused to question him, and he proceeded directly to a private meeting with leaders of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR). After around 11.35am, he emerged without speaking and entered his black Toyota Innova SUV at the lobby, ready to accept the Upper House's three-day review period for his resignation and the subsequent 60-day selection process for a replacement.",
  "summary": "The Upper House will now have three days to officially approve his resignation and another 60 days to select a replacement.",
