Prabowo Attends Tanwir and the 114th Anniversary of Muhammadiyah in Palu

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - President of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto attended the opening of the Tanwir and the 114th anniversary of Muhammadiyah in Palu, Central Sulawesi, on Saturday (14/11/2026).

According to an official broadcast by Muhammadiyah Television on YouTube, Prabowo arrived at the event in a white Maung car, which featured a Red and White flag and the symbol of the Garuda at the front.

He wore a white shirt, black pants, and a black cap, waving from the car to the crowd that welcomed him.

Upon arrival, Prabowo was greeted by several figures and high-ranking officials from the Central Board of Muhammadiyah (PP Muhammadiyah).

Notably, present were PP Muhammadiyah Chairman Haedar Nashir, the Minister of Education for Primary and Secondary Education Abdul Mu'ti, and the President's Special Advisor Muhadjir Effendy.

As he entered the event hall, Prabowo shook hands with various officials and attendees while the song '‘Maju Tak Gentar” played in the background.

Previously reported, PP Muhammadiyah Chairman Haedar Nashir stated that the Tanwir and the 114th anniversary of Muhammadiyah carry the theme "Together to Unite the Nation".

Haedar explained that this theme is based on the importance of maintaining unity amidst Indonesia's diversity.

He asserted that the motto Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, which means unity in diversity, is a vital asset for preserving national integrity.

"Normatively and realistically, we have substantial capital to continue uniting in diversity and Bhinneka Tunggal Ika," Haedar said.

He emphasized that differing views in social and political life should not hinder people from preserving unity.

Instead, differing opinions should be resolved through dialogue and efforts to find common ground.

"Sharp differences of opinion should lead us to dialogue, seeking common ground and moderation," he stated.

Moreover, the Tanwir in Palu serves not only as a forum for organizational consolidation but also as a moment for Muhammadiyah to formulate long-term strategic program directions.

Haedar mentioned that Muhammadiyah needs to restructure its strategic programs for the next 25 years.

This is essential as the organization has had strategic programs ranging from five to 25 years since 2000.

However, the timeframe for these programs has now lapsed, necessitating renewal.

"Since the year 2000, Muhammadiyah has had a strategic program spanning five to 25 years, and now that period has ended, thus it needs to be formulated anew," Haedar concluded.
