JAKARTA - Chairman of the Advisory Council of DKI Gerindra Party DPD Mohamad Taufik confirmed that he would leave the Gerindra Party and join the NasDem Party. Taufik has not conveyed this plan directly to the general chairman Prabowo Subianto.
"Not yet. I haven't told you yet," explained Taufik when met at the DKI Jakarta DPRD Building, Thursday, June 2.
The deputy chairman of the DKI DPRD from 2014 to 2022 admitted that one of the reasons he wanted to leave the Gerindra Party was because he no longer felt comfortable.
"One of them is because it is uncomfortable. We need comfort in a party. If you are not comfortable in a house, there are only two choices. Stay still or leave the house," he said.
Taufik stated the reason he wanted to move to the Nasdem Party. Taufik said he would move to a party with the same ideology as Gerindra, the party which was founded in 2008 has a nationalist ideology.
Thus, Taufik views that Nasdem is the right party for him to anchor because it has a similar ideology to Gerindra.
"We can see which movements are based on religion, which ones are based on the nationalist movement. Well, I'm starting from the nationalist party. Of course if you want to shift, the tendency will be to a nationalist party," he explained.
