Nahdlatul Ulama prepares for 35th Muktamar in Jombang

35th NU Muktamar Nahdlatul Ulama PBNU leadership Jombang religious organization

Preparations for the 35th Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) Muktamar, scheduled for August 27–31, 2026, in Jombang, are entering their final stages. The committee has finalized the Permanent Participant List (DPT), which will serve as the basis for registration, accommodation, and commission assignments. To ensure security and order, the local committee is implementing a digital registration system using RFID and QR code technology; participants with unvalidated data will be denied entry to the main area.

The upcoming assembly will focus on strategic organizational goals, including the discussion of a 25-year NU roadmap and a charter of scholarly values. Leadership competition is intensifying, with several prominent figures emerging as potential candidates for the Chairperson of PBNU. Notably, Kiai Abdussalam Shohib has expressed optimism about securing over 60 percent of the vote following extensive regional consolidation.

Local support for the event is widespread. Muhammadiyah Jombang has established service posts offering free food and health services, while 200 electric rickshaws provided by President Prabowo Subianto's foundation will assist with participant transportation. Additionally, the Forum Ulama Nahdliyyin has called for leadership reforms to ensure the organization's integrity and ability to navigate modern challenges.
