Summary
The victory of political parties in the Legislative Election has a very large role for the ulamaa’ in it, it can be said that the ulamaa’ are the mecca for determining the votes obtained by a political party. Anwar Syerozi's opinion is an example of the involvement of the ulamaa’, where when they have become a successful team of scholars, they will try to lead their followers to one of the candidates while maturing them so as not to be confrontational with other candidates and supporters This is so that their political behavior is not like nonulamaa’ politicians who do not have a moral responsibility towards the people. The involvement of the ulamaa’ personally is not in the name of the organization in politics by directly engaging or merely joining the success team in general elections These various pro and contra views show how the phenomenon of recruiting ulamaa’ in the political sphere, especially during direct elections at both the local and national levels, is strong evidence of how important the role of ulama in political parties is not just in the scope of religious preaching. The involvement of ulamaa’ in politics in Abdya is not new, there is no openness regarding this matter, the process of participation of the ulamaa’ in politics can be seen by the way political party figures approach the ulamaa’ or even the ulamaa’ themselves who are not reluctant to come to the local political party figures
