What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover or tap one to see who reported it.
Indonesia's Vice-President Gibran Rakabuming Raka has submitted his resignation, an aide has told the BBC, in a move which could further strain the political alliance that helped propel President Prabowo Subianto to power.
Under Indonesia’s constitution, a vice-presidential vacancy does not trigger a new election.
The Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court ruled last month that the documents Mr. Raka submitted regarding his overseas education didn't meet election requirements.
The office remains vacant until the People’s Consultative Assembly, the country’s highest legislative body, elects a replacement from two candidates nominated by the president within 60 days.

Reported by outlets on both sides of the middle

A subsequent petition, submitted on Wednesday to the House leadership by 120 lawmakers from eight political parties, began a parliamentary process that could lead to his impeachment.
