Previously, Rais Aam of the Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) Executive Board, KH Miftachul Akhyar, emphasized that Yahya Cholil Staquf was no longer the general chairman of PBNU.

During the meeting, Miftach said that starting November 26 2025 at 00.45 WIB, Yahya Cholil Staquf would no longer have the status of general chairman of PBNU.
“So [yahya] has no right to use attributes and does not have authority as general chairman of PBNU. And since then the leadership of the Nahdlatul Ulama management has been completely in the hands of Rais Aam,” he said.
Miftach said that his party had also socialized the results of the Syariah meeting’s decision regarding Gus Yahya’s removal to 36 PWNUs throughout Indonesia.And everyone has accepted that.
