The leadership of Indonesian Muslim women experienced a development, marked by the ever extensive political roles. Some previous researches state that the factor of familial closeness (political dynasty), gender, collusion, sexiness and piety marketing stimulate women’s election in political contestations. But these reasons are not enough to explain the reason for women’s roles in the public, especially women of pesantren (Islamic boarding schools). We suggest that women’s courage in the struggle for the political position is due to their desires to strive for women's rights that are ignored and not comprehensively understood by male leaders. The existence of the thought that women can (only) ‘understand women’ becomes the reason why regional leaderships are also seized by women. The article also shows the ability to integrate spirituality towards public roles by utilizing their social capitals. This paper also counters some arguments that women always lose in public sectors in political sector fights as they are under the shadow of their husbands or men.

“…Disamping itu, keaktifannya untuk memecahkan persoalan rakyat dan sebagai inisiator perubahan sosial dan pembentuk budaya, membuat kyai mempunyai kharisma dan kewibawaan di masyarakat (Jati 2013). Karena karisma dan pengetahuan (otoritas) agama yang dimiliknya, menjadikan kyai sebagai elit di masyarakat (Alfirdaus, 2014) Kiai sebagai elite Islam dengan status sosial yang tinggi ,memiliki relasi dan kekuasaan yang bisa masuk dan mempengaruhi struktur organisasi politik, dan kebijakan partai politik, Kiai juga memiliki penengah bila terdapat konflik dalam tubuh partai tersebut, sehingga kyai menjadi patronase bagi parpol tertentu (Chalik, 2016). Tidak saja dengan parpol, dalam relasinya dengan masyarakat, elit agama (kyai) pun menjadi pihak yang dihormati dan dipatuhi, semua itu didapatkannya karena didapatkan karena kyai selalu hadir, ketika menjadi mengalami persoalanpersoalan sosial (Pribadi, 2014).…”

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa hegemoni elita agama (kyai) dalam pemilihan walikota (pilwali) Pasuruan 2020 . Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif berbasis analisis hegemomi dari Antonio Gramsci. Selain menggunakan data sekunder seperti informasi tertulis di media online, jurnal dan buku, studi menggunakan data primer melalui wawancara mendalam terhadap 4 informan-yang berasal dari beberapa unsur- Pengurus NU Kota Pasuruan, Pengurus Muhammadiyah Kota Pasuruan, Santri dan tokoh masyarakat. Penelitian ini berpendapat elit agama (kyai) mempunyai pengaruh politik dalam pemilihan walikota (pilwali) Pasuruan 2020. Pengaruhnya dapat terbukti dengan adanya Saifullah Yusuf (Gus Ipul) dan Adi Wibowo, pasangan yang didukung oleh kyai, menjadi pemenang dalam pilwali 2020 di Kota Pasuruan. Keberhasilan menjadikan Saifullah Yusuf (Gus Ipul) dan Adi Wibowo memenangkan kontestasi pilwali tidak bisa dilepaskan dari kemampuan para kyai melakukan hegemoni kepada masyarakat dan santri agar memilih pasangan tersebut. Tulisan ini menyimpulkan bahwa elit agama (kyai) dapat melakukan hegemoni , karena pengetahuan agama yang dimilikinya. Hegemoninya menjadi lebih kuat, karena keterlibatan kyai untuk menyelesaikan persoalan warga, serta adanya integritas moralnya serta karisma yang dimiliki kyai.

The political roles of Kyai post-1998 political Reformation has always been an interesting theme to be debated. This article discusses the rise, the challenges, and the various opportunities which open the new direction for kyai’s political participation in Indonesia post-political Reformation. This article uses the political and social science approaches on qualitative data and literature review regarding kyai’s political history in Indonesia. The results show that the openness of the post-Reformation politics opens doors for the kyai to enter electoral politics by using religious authorities (traditional and charismatic authorities in the Weberian perspective) also the extensive support network which follows the pesantren (Islamic boarding school) network, alumni, and tarekat. Kyai’s entrance in the post-Reformation electoral politics have opened a new era in Indonesia’s political history.
