In 1907, while touring to raise funds for the aforementioned educational goals, he visited the students in STOVIA in Batavia, where he met Soetomo, who was a young student there at the time. This encounter was to lead to the foundation of Budi Utomo in May 1908.[4] In the first congress of Budi Utomo, Wahidin was elected as president of the organization after Raden Atmodirono stood aside from the final vote.[5] However, before long he stood aside to allow younger leaders to take charge of the organization.
He died on May 26, 1917, in Yogyakarta.[1]
