The Indonesian People's Da'wah Party (Indonesian: Partai Dakwah Rakyat Indonesia) is an Indonesian Islamist political party, founded by Farid Okbah and other Indonesian Islamists on May 31, 2021.[2][3] The party was later accused of being affiliated with Jemaah Islamiyah and became the centre of a crackdown on November 16, 2021.[4] The accusation shocked many Indonesians due to the fact it was potentially the first time in Indonesian history that a potential terrorist organisation disguised operations as a political party and attempted to intervene and participate in the Indonesian political system.[5]
