As Indonesian democracy shows signs of decline, what is NU’s role? How does it continue to defend its position as a “moderate” Muslim organisation and advocate for pluralism? How will its new leader, Yahya Cholil Staquf, direct the organisation’s focus ahead of the 2024 elections? In Talking Indonesia this week, Dr Jemma Purdey discusses these questions and more with Dr Alexander R. Arifianto, a Research Fellow with the Indonesia Programme at RSIS.
