OFFICIAL STATEMENT


With the grace of Almighty God, and after careful consideration, I hereby announce my resignation from the office of President of the Republic of Indonesia.

This decision is made in the interest of our nation. I refuse to allow personal ambition or my continued presence in office to jeopardize Indonesia's stability, unity, and future.

No position is worth sacrificing the peace and well-being of our people.

As I step down, I do so with pride in what we have achieved together. Indonesia's freedom was secured through the courage, sacrifice, and determination of all Indonesian citizens. Together, we weakened our adversaries, reduced their ability to sustain aggression, and expanded Indonesia's influence and standing within the international community.

These accomplishments do not belong to one leader, but to every Indonesian who chose to fight, endure, and believe in our nation's future.

I leave this office knowing that the Republic is stronger than any individual, and that preserving national stability is a greater duty than holding power.

May Almighty God continue to bless and guide the Republic of Indonesia.

Indonesia, 16 June 2026

Respectfully,

President of the Republic of Indonesia
