Gibran Rakabuming Raka (born 1 October 1987) is an Indonesian politician and businessman who is the vice president-elect of Indonesia. He is currently serving as the mayor of Surakarta. He is the eldest child of the seventh President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo. In the 2024 Indonesian presidential election, he ran as the vice presidential candidate of Prabowo Subianto.
