Yusril Assign the President will be able to run the government without the Vice President

El John News, Jakarta - The absence of vice president after Gibran Rakabuming Raka left his position is certain not to interfere with the government's path. President Prabowo Subianto still has full authority to run the wheels of government, including when having to make a work visit abroad.

The order was delivered by Minister of Law, Human Rights, Immigration, and Corrections, Yusril Ihza Mahendra, after meeting President Prabowo at the Presidential Palace Complex Jakarta Thursday (12 / 11 / 2026).

Yushril explained, no party has automatically taken over the vice president's function when the position was in the void. According to him, the president remains a government authority, while the vice president has a major task helping carry out the duties of heads of state and heads of government.

"Not filled by anyone. Because if there is no vice president, the president... the president will carry out his own power. The vice president will help with the duties of the president," he said.

He confirmed that the vice president's absence has indeed cost the president his life of government service. However, these conditions do not reduce the president's authority to make decisions or to run a government.

That way, Prabowo will be able to carry out state and government duties without waiting to be remade as vice president.

"So, if there is no vice president, no one helps the duties of presidents, the government is in context as a vice president, so the president can run the government, both in and out of the country, no matter what," strongly Yusril.

Foreign Visit Keep Running

The Yusril's explanation at once answered the question of government survival in the middle of President Prabowo's overseas travel plan on November 14-16, 2026.

Although no longer accompanied by the vice president, the President's employment agenda is certain not to be an issue of authority. Yushril confirmed that the existence of the vice president was not a prerequisite for the president to run the throne, including when outside of Indonesia.

However, Yusril did not detail the country's goals or agendas that Prabowo would run on his way abroad.

He also mentioned that the President's travel plan would not impede the process of filing the vice president. According to him, the President still needs time to prepare for a phase in relation to the determination of Gibran's successor.

"Because the president has a plan to go abroad, if not to go abroad until the 14th or 16th so, and therefore it still takes time for the president to prepare for this," Take care of it.

Vice President's Charge was targeted before December

In the midst of the certainty that the government is going on, the new vice president's determination is also the government's concern. Yusril sends out the hope that the entire stage of the placement of the second person in Indonesia can be completed before December 2026.

The position of vice president's chair becomes a matter of state that requires a process to suit the mechanism and provisions of the laws. Therefore, the President's preparation becomes an important part before the next phase is performed.

The government hopes that the process will work properly without disturbing the agenda of government or the execution of national programs.

Yusril's approval suggests that the void of vice president doesn't necessarily create a power vacuum. The president keeps his authority, while the process of filling the vice president's position takes place through the prevailing mechanism.

Thus, the government's agenda remains in the midst of a process of transitional office in the national leadership environment.
