Gibran Rakabuming Raka resigned from his position as Mayor of Surakarta (Solo) in July 2024.

This step is related to his preparations for his inauguration as the elected vice president in October 2024, alongside the elected president, Prabowo Subianto.

"Today, we submitted the letter of resignation to the Chairman of the Surakarta City DPRD (Regional People's Representative Council), and it will be processed according to the existing mechanism," said Gibran, as reported by Antara news agency on Tuesday (July 16, 2024).

"The [Solo] development this year can be continued by the Deputy Mayor, hopefully, it can continue to be sustainable in the future," he said.

Solo's Economic Growth During Gibran's Era

Gibran Rakabuming Raka was inaugurated as Mayor of Solo in February 2021 for the 2021-2024 term.

The eldest son of President Joko Widodo replaced FX Hadi Rudyatmo, who had served as Mayor of Solo for two periods, namely 2012-2015 and 2016-2021.

During FX Hadi's leadership, Solo's regional gross domestic product (RGDP) grew quite steadily at around 5-6% per year.

An exception occurred in 2020 when the world was hit by the Covid-19 pandemic, and Solo's economy also fell into the negative zone.

Then, after Gibran took office, in 2021 Solo's economy began to recover to the positive zone, along with the national and global economic recovery from the pandemic's impact.

In 2022-2023, Solo's economic growth strengthened to the 5-6% range, returning to the growth level during FX Hadi's leadership.
