 Meanwhile , the different factions in Masyumi were in conflict over the path the party was taking ; the NU members thought Masyumi was becoming too political , abandoning its Islamic roots . When the Natsir Cabinet began to collapse , the Masyumi put forth Fakih as a potential Minister for Religious Affairs . This act was controversial because four of the five allocated slots for the party were already filled by non @-@ NU members , and ultimately the NU pulled out of Masyumi , effective 5 April 1952 . Fakih had been chosen with a majority of five votes , while the next leading candidate , Usman <unk> , received four .
