The meeting in Lirboyo today also gave birth to an agreement between Rais Aam and Gus Yahya to immediately hold a Congress.
Apart from that, Gus Yahya and Rais Aam will also soon form a joint committee to organize the Muktamar.
Later, the committee will discuss the time, place and technical aspects of the conference.
“The time, place and technical implementation of the Congress will be decided jointly by the General Chair and Rais Aam through a committee that will be formed together,” said one of the meeting points.
This agreement was born after PBNU’s internal turmoil in recent times.
The conflict started after Rais Aam PBNU KH Miftachul Akhyar recommended Gus Yahya resign from the position of general chairman.
This decision was the result of the PBNU’s daily Syuriyah meeting at the Aston Hotel, Jakarta, on Thursday 20 November.At the meeting, 37 members of the 53 Syuriyah PBNU daily administrators were present.
Syuriyah PBNU also held a plenary meeting at the Sultan Hotel in Jakarta last Tuesday (9/12).The meeting was chaired by Rais Syuriyah PBNU Muhammad Nuh on the mandate of Rais Aam KH Miftachul Akhyar.
The plenary decided Zulfa Mustofa as Acting General Chair of PBNU for the remaining term of office until the 2026 Congress.
“The appointment of the Acting General Chairperson of PBNU for the remaining term of service, namely Mr. KH Zulfa Mustofa,” said Rais Syuriah Muhammad Nuh in a press conference after the plenary meeting at the Sultan Hotel.
However, Gus Yahya insisted that he still served as chairman and rejected the results of the plenary meeting.
