Muhammadiyah is known as a da'wah and education organization, not politics. However, it does not mean that Muhammadiyah is anti-politics. Muhammadiyah also has an interest in politics to support its da'wah. Welcoming the 2024 general election This research will focus on how Muhammadiyah plays identity politics in South Sulawesi to support the victory of its cadres to occupy legislative and executive seats. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques based on a literature review by reading and analyzing scientific texts, journals, and news related to Muhammadiyah and political movements in South Sulawesi. It was found that the relationship between political parties and Muhammadiyah was dynamic, with several patterns being played, namely, institutional role, personal role, and neutral. Two models are seen, namely approaching and keeping a distance. Muhammadiyah, in politics, sometimes gets close to political power and keeps its distance from existing power. The participation of persyarikatan members is one form of Muhammadiyah's contribution to citizenship politics. Even though Muhammadiyah does not have a political party, it can distribute its cadres to any party as long as it is in line with the Muhammadiyah movement. This is intended so that Muhammadiyah continues to have the spirit of maintaining 'the same closeness' with all political parties.
