Din Syamsuddin Surely to be Elected Unanimously

Yogyakarta, Indonesia (News Today) - Dean of the social and political sciences faculty (FISIP) in Jakarta Bahtiar Effendi said 13 executive board members elected during the voting on Sunday night will elect Din Syamsuddin as Muhammadiyah general chairman unanimously. He hoped there will be no voting in deciding on Muhammadiyah chairmanship for the 2010-2015 period, as Din had won a very significant number of votes. "And even far exceeding the other elected ones," he said at the press room of Universitas Muhammadiyah in Yogyakarta Tuesday.

Din Syamsudin, Muhammadiyah general chairman for the 2005-2010 period in the voting of the executive board members reached 13, won most of the votes followed by Muhammad Muqodas, Malik Fadjar, and Haedar. Since the beginning of the election of Muhammadiyah executive board members for the 2010-2015 period, Din’s position remained on top along with Muhammadi Muqodas, Malik Fadjar, and Haedar Nashir.

The following is the names of the 13 big three of the Muhammadiyah executive board members for the period of 2010-2015 period: Din Syamsudin (1,915 votes), Muhammad Muqodas (1,650), A Malik Fajar (1,562), A Dahlan Rais (1,508), Haedar Nashir (1,482), Yanuhar Ilyas (1,431), Abdul Mufti (1,322), Agus Danarta (1,034), Syafiq A Mugni (952), Fatah Wibisono (942), M.Goodwil Zubir (931), Bambang Sudibyo (887), Dadang Kahmad (797), Syukrianto (793), and AM Fatwa (790).

Looking at the composition of the votes, the number of votes reached by Muqodas, Malik Fajar, and A. Dahlan is too far. Especially that they were trying to become the general chairman, he said. If Haedar Nashir had a wish, the Muhammadiyah executives need to be realistic with the votes gained by Din.

Din Syamsudin was still the one who had been most desired by the members of the congress, Bahtiar Effendi said. Replying to a question that Din Syamsuddin was still too popular compared to the other executive members, Bahtiar stated that was not the case.One thing is sure, namely that the Muhammadiah central executive members are those who sincere in promoting the oldest Islamic organization.
