Meanwhile, the lawsuit is registered with case number: 583/Pdt.G/2025/PN Jkt.Pst which was tried by the chairman of the panel of judges Budi Prayitno with members Abdul Latip and Arlen Veronica.

The inaugural trial related to the lawsuit was held at the Central Jakarta District Court, Monday, September 8, 2025.

The plaintiff asked the panel of judges to declare Gibran invalid as Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia for the period 2024-2029.

In addition, the plaintiff assessed that Gibran had never attended high school/equivalent school which was held based on Indonesian law, so that he did not meet the requirements in the registration of the vice presidential candidate in the last presidential election.

The plaintiff asked the panel of judges to punish Gibran and the KPU for paying material and immaterial losses of Rp125 trillion and then deposited it into the state treasury.

Regarding the progress of the trial, the panel of judges decided to postpone it until Monday, September 15, 2025. The reason was that Gibran's camp was deemed absent.

Actually, the JPN team has been present to represent Gibran. However, the lawsuit from the plaintiff was directed at Gibran personally, not the vice president's position.
