Indonesia’s vice president has resigned in the midst of a scandal over his high school diploma, the head of parliament says, adding to pressure on a government facing widespread dissatisfaction over the economy, corruption and wildfires. Gibran Rakabuming Raka submitted his resignation to President Prabowo Subianto and parliament on Thursday, the speaker of the People’s Consultative Assembly told reporters. Gibran is the eldest son of former President Joko Widodo, Prabowo’s immediate predecessor. The 39-year-old left office after serving two years of his five-year term as questions grew over his eligibility after recent court rulings disputed his educational credentials.
