The Forum Musyawarah Kubro at Pondok Pesantren Lirboyo in Kediri has urged both sides in the Pengurus Besar Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) to reconcile through islah to end the internal conflict. PBNU General Chairman Yahya Cholil Staquf expressed his readiness to undergo examination on any accusations against him. This marks the third such meeting, highlighting deep concern over the organization's damaged reputation.
PBNU's Syuriyah will hold a plenary meeting on December 9-10, 2025, in Jakarta to appoint an acting general chairman. The session arises amid internal conflicts involving Gus Yahya's dismissal and financial governance issues. An official invitation was issued on December 2, 2025.
