PKS is a metamorphosis from the Justice Party (Indonesian: Partai Keadilan, PK) established in 1998.[3][6] The party was originally influenced by the Muslim Brotherhood movement of Egypt, and considered an Islamist party for its calls for Islam to play a central role in public life,[14] as well as providing political support to Indonesian and international Islamist movements such as the Islamic Defenders Front[15] 212 Movement. Today, it is considered a nationalist Islamist party that conforms with Pancasila doctrine and no longer upholds sharia as a main goal.[6][13][16][17][verification needed]
In 2019, the party obtained the popular vote by 8.21 percent, which is greater than 6.79 percent in 2014 and 7.88 percent in 2009. The party is currently led by Ahmad Syaikhu.[1]
