The research discovers that: (1) The students of Pondok Pesantren Pancasila endorse active participation (not pasive one) in their political aspiration, and it is shown in their involvement to engage their right to vote. (2) The students’ political affiliation is depend strictly on Kyai’s political choice as their modeling figure, even though Kyai gives them freedom to determine their own political choices.
