Gus Yahya stated that the circular did not meet PBNU administrative standards.One of them, the letter was not signed by four people in Syuriyah (supreme leadership) and Tanfidziyah (executing body)
“That letter was not signed by 4 Syuriyah people and Tanfidziyah. If you check the link at the bottom of the letter you will find that the letter number there is unknown. So the letter really does not meet the requirements. In other words, it is invalid and cannot possibly be used as an official document,” he added.
He reiterated that it could not be postponed except through a conference forum.
“I stated that I would not resign and could not be dismissed except through a conference,” he said.
The latest circular letter circulating today states that Gus Yahya is no longer the General Chair of PBNU.
The circular letter was a follow-up to PBNU’s daily Syuriyah meeting, 20 November in Jakarta, which asked Gus Yahya to resign as general chairman within three days of receiving the decision of the daily Syuriyah meeting.
If he does not resign within three days, the PBNU Syuriyah daily meeting decides to dismiss Yahya Cholil Staquf.
This latest circular bears the electronic signatures of Deputy Rais Aam Afifuddin Muhajir and Katib Ahmad Tajul Mafakhir.
“That based on the considerations as referred to in point 2 above, KH. Yahya Cholil Staquf will no longer have the status as General Chair of PBNU as of November 26 2025 at 00.45 WIT,” said point 3 of the circular letter.
In the next point it is stated that Yahya Cholil Staquf no longer has the authority and right to use the attributes, facilities and/or things attached to the position of General Chair of PBNU.
Then Gus Yahya also does not have the authority and right to act on behalf of the Nahdlatul Ulama Association as of November 26 at 00.45 WIB.
The next point orders the management to hold a plenary meeting to follow up on the replacement of the PBNU management.
Then in the closing section it is stated that as long as the position of general chairman of PBNU is vacant, the leadership of PBNU is completely in the hands of Rais Aam as the highest leader of Nahdlatul Ulama.
“In the event that KH. Yahya Cholil Staquf has objections to the decision, he can exercise the right to submit a request to the Nahdlatul Ulama Tahkim Council in accordance with the mechanism regulated in the Nahdlatul Ulama Association Regulation Number 14 of 2025 concerning Settlement of Internal Disputes,” said the closing part of the circular.
