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.[8] After the Suharto regime, it once again became an Islamist party in the early Post-Suharto era.[8] Today it is considered a centre-right[9][dead link] to right-wing[10][11] nationalist Islamist party which conforms with Pancasila doctrine and no longer upholds sharia as a main goal.[3][7][verification needed]
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 2024 election, the party won 3.87 of the popular vote, a decrease from 4.52 percent it won in 2019. It was the first time PPP lost all the seats in the DPR.[12]
