Indonesia's Constitutional Court dismissed a petition seeking to unseat Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka. The court ruled on Tuesday that the plaintiffs lacked legal standing to challenge his position. However, the court also found no convincing evidence that Gibran's overseas education met the minimum high-school qualification required for presidential candidates. Despite surviving the legal challenge, these findings regarding his educational qualifications could potentially impact his future political career. Gibran is the son of former president Joko Widodo.
