## VP offers resignation to president
Indonesian Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, thirty-nine, offered to resign during a meeting with President Prabowo Subianto on Tuesday, according to State Secretariat Minister Prasetyo Hadi.

The Supreme Court ruled last month that Raka's overseas education documents did not meet election requirements, escalating pressure on him and prompting calls from some lawmakers for impeachment.

It was not immediately clear whether Prabowo accepted the resignation. The president advised Raka to continue pursuing legal avenues to defend the validity of his academic documents, Hadi said.
## Raka seeks to avoid prolonged crisis
As he left his office, Raka told reporters he does not want the current situation to become a prolonged political controversy, saying he respects all criticism and feedback from the public.
