Gibran Rakabuming Raka (born 1 October 1987) is an Indonesian politician and businessman who has been 14th vice president of Indonesia since 2024. Previously the 18th mayor of Surakarta from 2021 to 2024, he is the eldest child of the seventh President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo. He was the running mate of Prabowo Subianto in the 2024 Indonesian presidential election.
Gibran completed his first nine years of education in Surakarta, before moving to Singapore where he studied at Orchid Park Secondary School. Despite his relatively short time in office, Gibran's impact on Surakarta has been significant, leading to him being named the most popular mayor in 2021, according to the Indonesia Indicator.[4][5]
Gibran's vice-presidential candidacy at age 36 has sparked controversy. The Constitutional Court, led by his uncle Anwar Usman, allowed him to run by making an exception for elected regional leaders. The General Elections Commission (KPU) faced ethics violations for letting Gibran register before adjusting the age requirement. Regardless, Prabowo and Gibran won the 2024 presidential election.
