United Development Party

The United Development Party (PPP) is Indonesia's Islam-rooted political party, formed from a merger of Islamic parties in 1973. As of October 6, 2023 the opening called it an Islamist political party and said it "once again became an Islamist party in the early Post-Suharto era." Today's opening calls it only an "Islam-based political party," though islamist survives seven times in the body. A reader today learns the party is Islam-based, not that Wikipedia's own opening once called it Islamist.

The opening as it read in October 6, 2023

United Development Party ( , PPP ; lit. ' Party of Unity and Development ' ; sometimes translated as Development Unity Party ) is an Islamist political party in Indonesia . Due to its distinctive logo, the party is known as the " Kaaba Party".1 The PPP was formed in 1973 as a result of the merger between several Islam-based parties, assuming the role of umbrella party for Muslims. After the Suharto regime, it once again became an Islamist party in the early Post-Suharto era . Today it is considered a nationalist Islamist party which conforms with Pancasila doctrine and no longer upholds sharia as a main goal.2 The party was led by Suryadharma Ali until 2014 when he was prosecuted for corruption. From 2014 to 2016 the party was split in the dispute over its chairmanship. In April 2016, Muhammad Romahurmuziy was declared a new chairman after a reconciliation congress. In the 2014 election , the party won 6.53 of the popular vote, an increase from the 5.33 percent it won in 2009 but lower than 8.15 percent of 2004.3 Komisi Pemilihan Umum RI . 22 December 2022 .
