"In the past few days, we heard that Mr. Taufik had an intention to quit or leave Gerindra and join the NasDem Party. When the decision was made by the NasDem Party, we welcomed it on the red carpet and we believe that if Bang Taufik goes to NasDem, he will be in a warm embrace. in the right place," Bestari told reporters, Friday, June 3.

Bestari believes that Taufik can play a role in increasing the electability of NasDem, especially in Jakarta towards the 2024 General Election. Because, according to him, Taufik is an accomplished politician who is quite competent.

Therefore, continued Bestari, NasDem will immediately assign Taufik to work to win the party in the political contestation in 2024 if Taufik has officially joined the party led by Surya Paloh.

"Bang Taufik's place already exists with a fairly large assignment then to win the election in 2024. He will win together and be successful too, if he moves to NasDem, then he must become the winning party in DKI Jakarta," he said.

Previously, Member of the Advisory Council of DKI Gerindra Party DPD Mohamad Taufik confirmed that he was planning to leave the Gerindra Party and wanted to move to the NasDem Party.

The plan to move the party was revealed after he was removed from the position of Deputy Chair of the DKI Jakarta DPRD by the Gerindra Party DPP and replaced by Rani Mauliani.

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," explained Taufik.
