The organization movement focuses on the field of education, social and Islamic da'wah. Since NW has a large congregation, it cannot be avoided from political influence. This article aims to determine how politics and power are controlled by the organization. In this research, the historical method is used which contains heuristics, source of criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The results show that the founder of NW, namely Tuan Guru Kiai Haji Muhammad Zainuddin Abdul Madjid, was directly involved in politics, as evidenced by the results of the first general election in 1955, where he was elected as a parliement member. In its development, NW's affiliation with political parties had shifted. Along with the fall of the Soeharto regime, NW experienced a split in its organization, which has different direction of political ideologies supported by their respective leaders. Upon its glory, NW managed to win the election of Governors, Regents and members of the DPRD-RI, Provinces, and Districts despite facing tribulations.
