Regardless, the opposing ulama faction held a separate congress in Surabaya on early October that year. This congress elected Choirul Anam as chairman instead. The Supreme Court also determined that the removal of Alwi Shihab was invalid in November 2005, strengthening the ulama faction’s claims to party leadership. Despite this, the Ministry of Law and Human Rights recognized Iskandar’s faction as legitimate on March 2006, followed by the South Jakarta District Court in June. The ulama faction appealed to the Supreme Court following the latter decision. The Supreme Court ruled in accordance with the Ministry and the District Court, hence ending the schism in September 2006.
