MALANG - Chairman of the Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) Executive Board, KH Said Aqil Siradj, stated that the 34th NU Congress will continue, and any NU cadre has the right to nominate himself.

"At the congress, all NU cadres have the right to nominate themselves," said Said Aqil briefly, after signing a cooperation agreement between PBNU and Qatar for the construction of 100 mosques and 10 hospitals, in Malang City, East Java, Sunday, December 5.

PBNU plans to hold a joint meeting of Syuriah and Tanfiziah to determine the schedule for the 34th NU Congress. The joint meeting is planned to be held on December 7, 2021.

Previously, PBNU Chairman Saifullah Yusuf in a written statement received in Jakarta, Saturday, December 4, said that the invitation letter for the joint meeting sent by Said Aqil was invalid, because there was no Rais signature. Aam and Katib Aam.

"The joint Tanfiziah and Syuriah meeting must have the full signatures of Rais Aam, Katib Aam, General Chairman and Secretary-General," said Gus Ipul, his nickname.

According to him, apart from being invalid, the invitation was also considered too late considering the certainty of the timing of the NU Congress which had been decided by Rais Aam by issuing an order for the Congress on December 17, 2021.

The 34th NU Congress was previously scheduled for 23-25 December 2021 in Lampung Province. However, because the Government will implement the Implementation of Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) Level 4, the congress has been rescheduled.
