The resignation of Indonesia's vice president and an expanding police wiretapping investigation will likely strengthen President Prabowo Subianto's control over political and security institutions, giving him freer rein to pursue his agenda but at the risk of sparking popular blowback and market instability. Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka formally resigned Nov. 12 following court rulings invalidating the educational credentials he used to qualify for the 2024 presidential election, with Subianto accepting his resignation. His departure followed growing impeachment efforts and coincided with an investigation into alleged illegal surveillance of Subianto and other prominent figures by senior police officers, including former police chief Listyo Sigit Prabowo. On Nov. 12, lawmakers called for treason charges against the suspects, though police said they were still investigating whether the surveillance was connected to a broader conspiracy against the government.
