Indonesian Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka resigned amid a dispute over the validity of his secondary-school diploma. A court had ruled that he had not submitted a valid diploma, while Gibran maintained that it was valid and said his decision was personal rather than connected to the affair. President Prabowo Subianto accepted the resignation, and parliament must vote on a successor within 60 days.
