About this person
Born 1 October 1987, Gibran Rakabuming Raka is the eldest child of Joko Widodo, Indonesia's seventh president. He split his education between Surakarta and Singapore, attending Orchid Park Secondary School and the Management Development Institute of Singapore. After a business career, he entered politics as mayor of Surakarta in 2021, where Indonesia Indicator named him the country's most popular mayor that same year. His vice-presidential run triggered controversy when the Constitutional Court - led by his uncle Anwar Usman - carved out an exception allowing elected regional leaders to bypass the age floor. The General Elections Commission faced ethics violations for registering him before formally adjusting the requirement. He and running mate Prabowo Subianto won the 2024 election with almost 59% of votes, making him Indonesia's 14th vice president despite critics citing nepotism and thin experience for the role.
