The Ummah Party (Indonesian: Partai Ummat) is a political party of Indonesia. The party formation was announced on 1 October 2020 and declared on 29 April 2021.[3][4]

The party was founded by former Chairman of the National Mandate Party's Advisory Board, Amien Rais. Rais, an Islamic modernist-turned-Islamic conservatist, became Chairman after an internal rift in the party over support for Jokowi's administration.[5][6]

The party aimed to attract Islamic populists,[7] whose presence heightened during the Aksi Bela Islam period.[8] The party, despite claiming to be a "Pancasila-based party",[9][10] recruited many notable Islamic right-wing figures within their rank and carried out Islamic right-wing agendas.[8]

Ansufri Idrus Sambo, former "Spiritual Teacher" of Prabowo Subianto, leader of Garda 212 and former Presidium Alumni 212 leader, is one of the many Indonesian Islamic right-wing figures who joined the party.[11][12] The Garda 212 is an unofficial political tool intended for Aksi Bela Islam alumni, but succeeded in providing channels and support for the alumni to become legislative candidates during 2019 Indonesian general election.[13] The organization is also notable for launching numerous Islamic populist themed conspiracy theories, including one which claimed that the 2018 Surabaya bombings were a false flag attack.[14]
