JAKARTA - The Advisory Chair of the DKI Gerindra Party DPD Mohamad Taufik emphasized that he did not position himself as a Gerindra cadre when praying for Anies Baswedan to become president in the future.
Taufik explained that he prayed for Anies as president while attending the Jaya Islamic Student Association (KAHMI) Alumni Corps event for the 2022-2027 period. Where, at that time, Taufik served as General Chairperson of Kahmi Jaya.
"I think it's like this. Right, when we are standing, when I pray, it's me as the General Chair of KAHMI. Not as a Gerindra cadre," Taufik said when contacted, Wednesday, April 6.
Meanwhile, at that time Anies Baswedan was in the position of Deputy Chairman of the Advisory Board of KAHMI Jaya. So, Taufik emphasized that he was only praying for KAHMI members to become leaders of the country.
"At that time I was also appointed as the General Chair of KAHMI. Mr. Anies is our member," said Taufik.
As is known, Taufik once prayed for Anies Baswedan to become President of the Republic of Indonesia during the inauguration of the Jaya Islamic Student Association Alumni Corps Regional Council (KAHMI) for the 2022-2027 period at the Aryaduta Hotel, Central Jakarta.
"That's it, the president. We can pray for how the future president will come from KAHMI," said Taufik, pointing at Anies, to loud applause at the location, Sunday, February 6 at the Aryaduta Hotel, Jakarta.
Taufik's statement surprised a number of parties. This is because Gerindra has stated that it will again carry Prabowo Subianto to run in the 2024 Presidential Election.
Until April 1, Gerindra claimed to have removed Taufik from the position of Deputy Chairperson of the DKI Jakarta DPRD. This was stated by the Chairperson of the DPD Gerindra DKI, Ahmad Riza Patria, after previously denying the news that had been circulating since mid-March.
Now, Riza admitted that the letter of recommendation to change the position of Deputy Chair of the DKI DPRD has been submitted to the Chair of the Gerindra Faction, Rani Mauliani, to be submitted to the Chair of the DKI Jakarta DPRD.
"It has been announced that a replacement will be made. In March (the letter has been given)," said Riza at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Friday, April 1.
