Chairman of the Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) Executive Board Yahya Cholil Staquf (Gus Yahya) rejected the plenary meeting decision which appointed Zulfa Mustofa as Acting (Pj) General Chair of PBNU. He considered the decision invalid because the process was considered to be out of organizational provisions.

According to Gus Yahya, the plenary meeting held on Tuesday night could not be used as a basis for appointing the Acting Ketum because it was considered a continuation of unconstitutional steps.

"Because the first was stated as a continuation of something unconstitutional, illegal, that's why he became invalid. The procedures and mechanisms are also not in accordance with the existing order," said Gus Yahya at the Ministry of State Secretariat Building, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, December 10.

Gus Yahya emphasized that the only forum that has the authority to dismiss himself as general chairman is the Congress. According to him, the daily Sharia meeting does not have the authority to make decisions at the level of the organizational mandatory change.

Montamar. This is actually a universal thing. Everywhere there is no mandatear organization being dismissed outside the highest deliberation. Everyone knows that in NU too, there are no special rules about it," he said.

He added that the appointment of Zulfa Mustofa as the Acting Chairman of the Ketum could not be carried out because it was carried out by an unauthorized forum. "From the start, it has been discussed that the Sharia daily meeting is not authorized to dismiss mandatory, in this case I am the general chairman," he said.

Gus Yahya emphasized that the decision was automatically unacceptable. "If it's not authorized, it's still unacceptable. So it can't be continued, it can't be executed," he said.

Until now, the internal dynamics of PBNU are still developing, while each party insists on whether or not the plenary meeting decision is legal.
