JAKARTA - Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka admitted that he appreciated Mahfud MD's decision to immediately resign from the position of Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs for the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet. Gibran emphasized that the decision to resign from Jokowi's minister was the right of Mahfud.

"Yes, please (please), we respect his decision," said Gibran at Kebumen, quoted by Kompas.com, Wednesday, January 24.

Previously at the Collis Prof in Semarang, Mahfud MD stated that he would resign from his position as Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs to prevent conflicts of interest. However, this step was taken at the right moment.

"At the right time, we will definitely submit a good resignation," Mahfud said in a YouTube live broadcast Mahfud MD Official, Tuesday night, January 23.

Mahfud emphasized that the matter of resignation had indeed been discussed with his presidential candidate pair, Ganjar Pranowo. Suggestions were also given by the former Governor of Central Java.

However, he could not immediately apply for himself to resign from his position. Because there is still work to be done.

"What Pak Ganjar said to the public this afternoon was my agreement with Pak Ganjar from the start," said Mahfud.

"So there is no conflict with Pak Ganjar," continued the former Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court (MK).
