JAKARTA - Gerindra has removed Mohamad Taufik from the position of Deputy Chairman of the DKI Jakarta Regional House of Representatives. The removal of the Chair of the Advisory Board of Regional Representative Council Gerindra DKI from his leadership position in the Regional House of Representatives is considered to have certain political intentions.
A political observer from the Indonesian Political Parameter, Adi Prayitno views this removal as a way for Gerindra to remove or purge Anies Baswedan loyalists from important positions in Jakarta.
As is known, some time ago Taufik had prayed for Anies Baswedan as president in the future.
"The only big sin that M. Taufik committed was to pray for Anies to become president. That's why he was disciplined by being fired", Adi said when contacted by VOI, Sunday, April 3.
Adi saw that Taufik's "cute" Anies attitude had angered Gerindra. Because Gerindra itself has given a signal that it will again carry Prabowo Subianto to run in the 2024 Presidential Election.
"This sin cannot be forgiven, it seems because Gerindra has unanimously supported Prabowo running again in 202. After all, M. Taufik is one of the founders and an important figure of Gerindra DKI Jakarta", he said.

Previously, Taufik responded to the possible reason for his removal as Deputy Chair of the DKI Regional House of Representatives because he had prayed for Anies as president. According to him, even though he is a Gerindra Party cadre, praying for Anies to become President of the Republic of Indonesia is a natural thing.
"Wait, it's just a matter of prayer, can't you?", Taufik told reporters, Friday, April 1.
However, Taufik does not know for sure why the party replaced him with another cadre from the leadership position of the DKI Regional House of Representatives from the Gerindra faction. Whether this removal was due to Taufik's support for Anies or not, he could not be sure.
"Yes, I don't know. I don't understand the reason why it was replaced. But what is clear is that I consider the replacement normal, that's normal", said Taufik.
