EN.MUHAMMADIYAH.OR.ID, YOGYAKARTA – Muhammadiyah’s 2026 Tanwir meeting, scheduled to take place in Palu, Central Sulawesi, on November 14-15, 2026, will undergo several adjustments, particularly regarding the topics to be discussed in its commission sessions. The changes were announced by Agung Danarto, Chairperson of the Muhammadiyah Central Board. The statement was delivered following a press conference at the organization’s headquarters in Yogyakarta on Monday (9/11).
Agung explained that the meeting was initially set to address three main topics in its commission sessions: Muhammadiyah long-term work program, the Treatise of Universality, and amendments to the Statute and Bylaws of Muhammadiyah were removed from the commission agenda.
“We believe there is no longer a need to include the proposed amendments to Muhammadiyah’s Statute and Bylaws. They were already discussed in the commissions and plenary sessions at the previous Tanwir in Kupang. And, thus, they will become an agenda item at the Muktamar National Congress,” Agung explained.
As a result, the commission sessions at the upcoming Tanwir in Palu will focus on two main agendas: discussing Muhammadiyah’s long-term work program through 2047 and deliberating the Treatise of Universality.
Election Committee and Financial Verification Team
In addition to the meeting’s main topics, Agung outlined plans to appoint an election committee and a financial verification team. Referring to Muhammadiyah Bylaws, the Central Board will propose several candidates for appointment during the Tanwir sessions.
“During the meeting, the Muhammadiyah Central Board will propose names to be appointed by the Tanwir. The same applies to the verification team. Its members will come from regional boards, but their appointment will be confirmed at the Tanwir,” he said.
More Than 400 Participants Expected
Regarding attendance, Agung estimated that this year’s Tanwir would bring together more than 400 people. The secretariat has compiled the attendance data, which includes members, participants, and observers.
“All 38 Muhammadiyah Provincial Boards have confirmed their readiness to attend as Tanwir members. Representatives from seven Muhammadiyah autonomous organizations will also take part. Meanwhile, supporting bodies, such as councils and departments, will attend as participants,” Agung said.
To support the smooth organization of the event, the committee has also invited rectors of Muhammadiyah-’Aisyiyah Universities, directors of Muhammadiyah hospitals, and all Muhammadiyah Provincial Boards across Central Sulawesi to attend as observers.
With these preparations in place, the Tanwir in Palu is expected to serve as a deliberation forum for discussing the organization’s strategic direction and priorities. More broadly, it will also provide an opportunity to strengthen organizational consolidation ahead of the Muhammadiyah Muktamar National Congress scheduled for 2027. (Bhisma)
