Golkar Secretary General: Nusron Wahid Resigned from Leadership Six Months Ago

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Secretary General of the Golkar Party's Central Leadership Council (DPP), M Sarmuji, revealed that Nusron Wahid has resigned from the DPP Golkar Party leadership.

"A long time ago. As far as I remember, it was more than six months ago," Sarmuji said when contacted on Saturday (9/19/2026).

Previously, Nusron was recorded as the Chairman of the Religious and Spiritual Affairs Division of the DPP Golkar Party.

With this resignation, Sarmuji stated that Nusron remains a regular member or cadre within Golkar Party.

He said that Nusron submitted his resignation directly to the DPP Golkar Party Chairman, Bahlil Lahadalia.

However, he did not know the exact reason why the man who currently serves as Minister of Agrarian and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) resigned.

"Maybe he wants to focus on other matters," he said.

In the DPP Golkar Party's 2024–2029 leadership structure, led by Bahlil Lahadalia, Nusron is listed as Chairman of the Religious and Spiritual Affairs Division, part of Electoral Function 1.

Nusron's name recently surfaced following a corruption sting operation by the KPK at the Ministry of ATR/BPN, linked to alleged bribery related to the Building Use Rights (HGB) of PT Summarecon Agung Tbk.

Nusron Wahid has affirmed that he is unaware of the details of the case. The Ministry of ATR/BPN also denied rumors regarding Nusron stepping down from his ministerial position.
