Nahdlatul Ulama 35th Muktamar to be held in Jombang
The 35th Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) Muktamar is scheduled to take place from August 27–31, 2026, at Pondok Pesantren Bahrul Ulum Tambakberas in Jombang, East Java. The event is expected to be officially opened by President Prabowo Subianto.
Organizers are implementing advanced digital management systems, including chip-based cards and artificial intelligence developed by students to verify participant identity and prevent unauthorized access. To ensure security and monitoring, over 100 CCTV cameras will be integrated into a central command center to oversee the arena, accommodation, and surrounding traffic.
The final voter list (DPT) has been verified, establishing 557 eligible voters, which meets the required quorum for the assembly.
Logistical preparations are underway, with the East Java Education Office designating state high schools as transit facilities for participants. Additionally, PLN is ensuring stable electricity and internet connectivity throughout the venue. To accommodate pilgrims, Tebuireng Islamic Boarding School has announced 24-hour access to the grave of Gus Dur during the Muktamar period.
