The Ummat Party, a significant political entity in Indonesia, is undergoing a leadership change. Ridho Rahmadi, who holds the position of Chairman and is notably the son-in-law of prominent figure Amien Rais, has officially resigned from his post.

This development was confirmed by Ustaz Ansufri Idrus Sambo, who has been appointed as the Acting Chairman (Plt Ketum) of the DPP Ummat Party. Sambo, also described as the spiritual mentor to the Indonesian President, stated that the resignation was accepted in writing.

The party's Majelis Syura (Consultative Assembly), the highest decision-making body, held its 8th session in Jakarta on Wednesday, August 26, 2026. During this meeting, four key decisions were made. These included accepting the resignations of both Ridho Rahmadi and Secretary-General Taufik Hidayat, affirming routine organizational rotation, and appointing acting leaders to ensure legal certainty, administrative smoothness, and continued organizational momentum.

These strategic steps are aimed at internal consolidation and revitalization within the DPP Ummat Party's structure. The party seeks to maintain its solid operational rhythm at the central level amidst these changes.

Iya, benar.
