Such prestigious positions as rais aam (general chairman of legislative boad) and general chairman of tanfiziyah (executive board) of the Indonesia's largest Muslim organization Nahdlatul Ulama will be determined this morning (Saturday, 27/3) at the Hajj Dormitory, Sudiang, Makassar.

Reportedly, the election of rais aam will be held earlier before the one of general chairman of tanfidziyah. The two posts will directly be determined by participants comprising provincial and regency-level boards and NU special branches abroad in the Makassar's NU32nd congress.
