General elections
The National Awakening Party stood in the 1999 elections, winning 13 percent of the votes. In the 2004 elections, the party gained 10.57% (11,989,564) of votes and 52 seats in the People's Representative Council. However, the party won only 4.9 percent of the votes in the 2009 legislative election, and 27 seats in the legislature.
Policies
According to the party website, the party's policies are to:
- Strengthen democracy to increase the prosperity of people living in villages
- Strengthen the protection of farmers and fishermen
- Accelerate the development of disadvantaged regions
- Make labourers prosperous
- Increase the involvement of women in strategic sectors
For the 2014 elections, the party plans to focus more intensively on its policies related to villages, in particular such as village representation, the allocation of funding for villages and the development of education and health facilities.
2024 Planned Takeover by Nahdlatul Ulama
The relationship between National Awakening Party and Nahdlatul Ulama worsened due to differences in political stance during 2024 Indonesian general election. Since Muhaimin Iskandar's loss in the election, the party increasingly distanced itself from Nahdlatul Ulama and often took actions that disadvantage Nahdlatul Ulama's political interests. Due to this, Nahdlatul Ulama Central Committee announced plans for taking over the National Awakening Party leadership on 26 July 2024.
