JAKARTA - The internal conflict between the West Java Kadin and the Indonesian Kadin has entered an important phase. A mediation session will be held on Thursday, February 5, 2026, at the South Jakarta District Court. The Chairman of the Indonesian Kadin, Anindya Bakrie, is expected to attend the forum in person.
This hope was conveyed by the lawyer for the plaintiffs, Roy Sianipar. According to him, the presence of Anindya and the important ranks so that they can hear directly the reasons for the lawsuit filed by the regional manager. "This is an internal correction so that the Chamber of Commerce remains obedient to the organization's rules: the Law, AD/ART, and its derivative regulations," Roy told reporters in Jakarta, Wednesday (4/2).
This Indonesian Kadin Mediation Session is a continuation of the previous session on January 29. The chairman of the panel of judges, Eman Sulaeman, appointed Sri Wiguna as a non-judge mediator.
Anindya's lawyer, Azis Syamsudin, also welcomed the mediation process. He expressed optimism that this dispute could be resolved peacefully.
The source of the conflict began with two Provincial Congresses (Musprov) of the West Java Chamber of Commerce held simultaneously on September 24, 2025. The Bandung version of the Musprov chose Nizar Sungkar as chairman. The Bogor version of the Musprov gave birth to Almer Faiq Rusdy. The central management of the Chamber of Commerce officially appointed Almer in Cirebon on November 27, without bringing the two camps together as previously promised.
The action was considered contrary to the AD/ART. Frustration also peaked. The district/city Kadin managers in West Java, including those from Garut and Indramayu, filed a lawsuit against the central manager.
The lawsuit is registered with case number 1356/Pdt.G/2025/PN JKT.SEL. The defendants include: Anindya Bakrie, Taufan Eko Nugroho, Widiyanto Daputro, and Erwin Aksa.
Roy emphasized that the West Java Kadin Executive wanted a legally binding resolution, not based on the will of the central elite. "Kadin is not a private company. It must be run according to the rules, not arbitrarily," he said.
The plaintiffs encouraged that the mediation would result in an agreement to hold a new Musprov with a valid procedure. This mediation session is an important moment to test the central Kadin's commitment to the integrity and democracy of the organization.
