GP Ansor Refreshes Leadership to Strengthen Organisation

The Central Board of the Ansor Youth Movement (PP GP Ansor) has refreshed its leadership ranks as part of a strategic effort to strengthen the organisation’s capacity and expand its cadres’ contributions in addressing various national challenges. A number of young Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) figures with experience in the government sector, sports, the professional world, and community empowerment have officially joined the new leadership lineup. “Ansor must continue to be an organisation that is adaptive to the times. Therefore, we are strengthening the organisational structure with cadres who have the capacity, experience, and a track record of service in various fields,” said GP Ansor General Chair Addin Jauharudin in a statement in Jakarta on Thursday. Some of the names entering the new leadership include Aminuddin Ma’ruf, who currently serves as Deputy Head of the Supervisory Board for State-Owned Enterprises (BP BUMN), and Muhammad Abdul Idris, who is part of the Board of Directors for Persiku Kudus, along with several other young cadres who have been active in various fields of service. According to him, the figures joining the new leadership are not unfamiliar faces within NU circles. Most are cadres who have long been involved in the NU cadre tradition and possess relevant experience to support the strengthening of the organisation. Addin asserted that GP Ansor is currently required not only to guard Islamic and national values, but also to be able to respond to new challenges such as digital transformation, strengthening the people’s economy, human resource development, and increasing the role of youth in national development. Therefore, he said, the organisation needs a combination of cadres who are strong ideologically, mature organisationally, and have professional competencies that can strengthen organisational governance.
