PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri sacked Gibran Rakabuming Raka as a party cadre. The reason Gibran was fired was because he ran as a vice presidential candidate (cawapres) from another party.
This is stated in Decree number 1650 / KPTS / DPP / XII 2024 which was read out by the Chairman of the Honorary Division of the PDIP DPP Komarudin Watubun today, Monday, December 16.
In the decree on the dismissal, PDIP's consideration of dismissing Gibran was because the eldest son of the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo had served as a national campaign interpreter and spokesman for the Ganjar Pranowo-Mahfud Md pair in 2023 based on Instruction Letter Number 5640/IN/DPP/X/2023.
However, on October 21, 2023, Gibran was suddenly promoted by the Golkar Party as a vice presidential candidate to accompany Prabowo Subianto. Gibran was present at the inauguration event and was declared a vice presidential candidate.
"Considering that Teradu's brother has been officially declared as a Vice Presidential Candidate to accompany Prabowo Subianto as a Presidential Candidate carried by the Advanced Indonesia Coalition," reads one of the consideration points listed in Gibran's dismissal decree.

Some time later, Gibran officially registered with the KPU as a consideration by PDIP. Gibran is known to register on October 25, 2023.
"Considering that on Wednesday, October 25, 2023, Teradu's brother has officially registered with the Indonesian KPU as a Vice President Candidate to accompany Prabowo Subianto as a Presidential Candidate carried by the Advanced Indonesia Coalition," continued the decree.
Based on the facts above, PDIP then fired Gibran. Gibran is also said to have violated the code of ethics and discipline of party members for being the vice president of other parties.
"The defendant was proven to have violated the Code of Ethics and Disciplinary of Party Members by disobeying party regulations and decisions because he was a candidate for Vice President from another party," he said.
