Call M Taufik Immediately Move To NasDem, Gerindra Says Gratitude: For Us, He Is Just Ordinary

JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Gerindra Party, Desmon J Mahesa, responded to the news about the desire of Member of the Board of Trustees of the DKI Jakarta Gerindra Party, M Taufik, to move to the NasDem Party. Desmond is actually grateful that Taufik left Gerindra. "We are grateful. We are grateful that he moved so that NasDem knows how Taufik is," said Desmond when met by VOI at the DPR Building, Thursday, June 2. Desmond also advised NasDem not to see the former deputy chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD as an extraordinary figure. Because in Gerindra, said Desmond, Taufik is very ordinary. "Don't look at extraordinary taufik, for us it's just ordinary," said Desmond.

As for the reason Taufik moved to NasDem because he wanted to support Anies, Desmond considered it just a trick by Taufik. According to him, Taufik moved because Gerindra was removed from an important position because he was incompetent in managing the party.

"It might just be Taufik. Actually, it's not right for him to lead the party, that's why he was replaced," said Desmond.

The deputy chairman of Commission III of the DPR reiterated that Taufik was replaced by Gerindra because he had no achievements while carrying out the duties of the party led by Prabowo Subianto. So that Taufik is no longer comfortable taking shelter in Gerindra.

"He is not comfortable because he was replaced. Because we saw that he did not manage the party properly. He has no achievements," said Desmond.

Previously, Member of the Board of Trustees of the DKI Jakarta Gerindra Party DPD M Taufik, expressed his desire to move to the NasDem Party. Taufik admitted that he was not comfortable with the current situation and some people in the Gerindra Party. In addition, Taufik explained that the reason he wanted to move to the NasDem Party was because the party created by Surya Paloh was a nationalist party.

“When I made a choice, my shift was definitely to the nationalists too. One of them is the nationalist party, Nasdem,” said Taufik, Wednesday, June 1.

Moreover, said Taufik, NasDem has a direction to support DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan running for the 2024 presidential election.

"I happened to see that (Nasdem) was close to Anies in 2024. This is somewhat in line with my thoughts. I was praying for Anies," said Taufik.
