Muhammadiyah’s central board elected incumbent chairman Haedar Nashir to a second term during the organization’s 48th muktamar (national congress) on Sunday, extending Haedar’s reign at the top of the country’s second-largest Muslim organization until 2027.
“The [central board] decided that Muhammadiyah chairman for the period of 2022-2027 will be Haedar Nashir,” said central board member Dahlan Rais to the cheers of attendees of the meeting in Surakarta, Central Java.
The board, Dahlan added, also chose to reelect secretary-general Abdul Mu’ti to the same position, with he and Haedar set to lead Muhammadiyah for the next five years.
