This study examines the public communication of leaders of Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) in strengthening national political life in Central Jakarta, focusing on Ulil Abshar Abdalla, Alissa Wahid, and Savic Ali. Using a qualitative case study approach with interviews, observation, and document analysis, the research explores how these figures promote nationalism, moderation, and political literacy through public forums and digital media. The findings show that their communication emphasizes Islamic ethical principles such as wisdom, justice, and tolerance, delivered in an inclusive and persuasive manner to support social cohesion and democratic values. However, several controversies indicate the need for more strategic and structured public communication management within PBNU. Overall, inclusive and ethical public communication by PBNU leaders plays an important role in strengthening national political awareness and integration
