Subsequently, the election for the General Presidency of the MUI will be determined by a training team whose members represent various elements of society and are selected through the applicable mechanism.
Typically, he said, training team members were selected based on regional MUI representatives, representatives of Islamic organizations, various former central MUI missionary members, and academics.
“For the 2015 Surabaya National Conference there were 17 formats, they were the ones who elected the President of MUI,” said Abdullah Jaidi.
