2024 election The party initially registered to participate in the
2024 Indonesian general election, but failed to qualify. The party proceeded to launch a successful lawsuit against the
General Elections Commission, leading to a reverification which found the party eligible to participate. Ummah was officially entered into the list of participating parties in the election on 30 December 2022, while other parties were entered on 14 December. Ummah received a ballot number of 24. The party won 642,545 votes (0.42%) at the national legislative election and did not qualify for the national House of Representatives. It won several seats at municipal legislatures, such as at the regencies of
Bantul,
Lamongan, and
Jayapura, and the city of
Padang.
February 2022 crackdown On 10 February 2022 at 9:15 AM, an Ummah Party cadre of the
Bengkulu province branch was arrested by
Densus 88 for allegations of terrorism. It was found that he had declared allegiance to
Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) since 1999 and was a direct disciple of
Abu Bakar Ba'asyir and
Abdullah Sungkar in 1993. Spokesman for Ummah Party, Mustofa Nahrawardaya proposed the government to evaluate the working procedures of Densus 88 in order to not become a terror among the public. Ummah Party also gave legal assistance to its arrested member and stated that the party will never deactivate his membership status. The captured member was member of the Bengkulu branch of the
Indonesian Ulema Council. He was captured along with another member of the council. The capture further added the list of uncovered JI agents which spread to legal political party and state-sponsored religious agency. While the party defended its arrested member, the arrest was praised by the
National Mandate Party,
Nasdem, and the
Indonesian Solidarity Party. The unusual move of the Ummah Party also attracted attention of social activist Islah Bahrawi. He further accused that the Ummah Party is a terror organization disguised as a political party or a front organization housing terrorist activity, citing a JI issued work, stating that to succeed their "long-term struggle strategy" they must implant their agents and cadres to sit in strategic positions in government, political and religious organizations, and businesses in hope facilitating the establishment of Islamic state in Indonesia. He previously considered this plan on 9 December 2024 during the Nationality and Ummah Discussion, which was attended by several Islamist political parties. ==Election results==
