“I don’t have the capacity,” he said
The internal conflict at PBNU started with the circulation of documents from the minutes of PBNU’s daily Syuriyah meeting, 20 November 2025.The forum asked Yahya Cholil Staquf to resign or be removed from the position of General Chair of PBNU, within three days.The document itself was signed by Rais Aam PBNU KH Miftachul Akhyar.
Some of the reasons for the impeachment included the fact that Yahya was considered to have links to the international Zionist network, and was deemed to have violated PBNU’s financial governance.
A few days later, Wednesday (26/11), a PBNU circular was issued bearing the electronic signatures of Deputy Rais Aam Afifuddin Muhajir and Katib Ahmad Tajul Mafakhir, Number: 4785/PB.02/A.II.10.01/99/11/202, which stated that Yahya no longer had the status of general chairman.
Responding to the results of the Syuriyah board meeting and the letter, Gus Yahya fought back and admitted that he would not resign.He also stated that the letter was invalid.He emphasized that he still had the status of Chairman of PBNU.
In line with this, Gus Yahya removed the Minister of Social Affairs Saifullah Yusuf alias Gus Ipul from his position as PBNU Secretary General (Sekjen), and also removed Gudfan Arif from the position of PBNU General Treasurer.
Gus Ipul’s removal was based on the decision of the Tanfidziyah Daily Meeting which was held Friday (28/11) at the PBNU office, Kramat Raya, Jakarta.The meeting was chaired directly by Gus Yahya as General Chair of PBNU.
Next, Rais Aam PBNU KH Miftachul Akhyar finally appeared in public and stated that Gus Yahya would no longer serve as General Chair of PBNU as of November 26 2025 at 00.45 WIB.
This means, according to Miftachul, Gus Yahya no longer has the authority or right to use the attributes of General Chair.This was conveyed by Miftachul after the PBNU Rais Aam gathering with the PBNU Syuriyah and 36 PWNU which was held at the East Java PWNU office, Surabaya, Saturday (29/11).
“As of November 26 2025 at 00.45 WIB, KH Yahya Cholil Staquf will no longer have the status of General Chair of PBNU. Since then, the leadership of PBNU is completely in the hands of Rais Aam,” he said.
Apart from that, Miftachul said that his party would hold a conference in the near future.PBNU said he would also form a fact-finding team to investigate a number of issues amidst the polemic over the removal of General Chair Yahya Cholil Staquf.
He revealed that the fact-finding team would be led by two Deputy Rais Aam PBNU, namely KH Anwar Iskandar and KH Afifuddin Muhajir.Anwar Iskandar is the General Chair of the MUI who replaced Miftachul, and was re-elected to lead the organization that oversees Islamic mass organizations throughout Indonesia two weeks ago.
