A debate has arisen regarding whether Abdul Mu'ti should relinquish his position as Secretary-General of Muhammadiyah’s central executive board following his recent appointment as Indonesia’s Minister of Basic and Secondary Education. The question centers on potential conflicts of interest and adherence to organizational regulations. Current discussions suggest Mu'ti is not obligated to resign from his Muhammadiyah role. This decision stems from interpretations of internal rules and the nature of his new governmental position. The situation has sparked discussion within the organization regarding the balance between public service and maintaining leadership within the influential Islamic organization. Further details regarding the internal deliberations are expected as the Muhammadiyah congress approaches. The outcome will likely set a precedent for future appointments of Muhammadiyah leaders to government positions.
