JAKARTA - The Gerindra Party Honorary Council dismissed Mohamad Taufik as a party cadre with one of the reasons for failing to win Prabowo Subianto in the 2019 presidential election.
In response to this, Taufik said that the reason for his dismissal because Prabowo lost the presidential election did not make sense. Because, he said, political contestation in the election was conducted democratically according to the people's choice.
"Sorry, here, if what I did was not in line with the friend's expectations (failed to win Prabowo). Is it really just me because the presidential election lost?" said Taufik when met in the Central Jakarta area, Tuesday, June 7.
"(The dismissal) is not a matter of fairness or injustice. This means making up the argument. I see, you know," he continued.
The Gerindra Party Honorary Council stated that another reason for his dismissal was because Taufik had openly prayed for the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan as President.
Taufik's support for Anies was expressed at the inauguration ceremony of the Regional Council of KAHMI Jaya for the 2022-2027 period several months ago.
In fact, Gerindra has also announced that its party will again nominate its general chairman, Prabowo Subianto, to become a presidential candidate in the 2024 election.
"I was once called by the Party's Honorary Council when I prayed for Anies to upgrade from Governor to President," he said.
However, Taufik emphasized that his statement at that time was not a party cadre. "At that time, my position was the chairman of KAHMI Jaya. It was only natural that I prayed for the members to go to class. So, I was called upon. I didn't know it was linked and then I was fired. Never mind. For me there is no problem," explained Taufik.
For information, the Party's Honorary Council officially dismissed M Taufik as a Gerindra Party cadre today, Tuesday, June 7th. The dismissal was the result of the Gerindra MKP trial which was held today.
Session leader Wihadi Wiyanto explained that there had been an accumulation of mistakes and violations that had been committed by Taufik as a cadre of the Gerindra Party, starting from the 2019 presidential election.
During his tenure as Chair of the Gerindra DKI Jakarta DPD, as well as at the DKI Jakarta DPRD from the Gerindra faction, Taufik is considered to have failed in carrying out the party's mandate related to the loss of votes for the Prabowo-Sandi pair in DKI Jakarta in the 2019 Presidential Election. corruption (Tipikor) within the DKI government. In addition, until now the Gerindra DPD DKI Jakarta does not yet have a permanent office as the Gerindra Party DPD DPD in other areas.
Regarding the violation of AD/ART, Wihadi said, Taufik has also been proven to have committed acts that are contrary to and not in line with the direction of the Gerindra Party's policy. That is, he has violated his oath as a Gerindra Party cadre who decided to submit and obey the party's ideology and discipline and to maintain the honor, dignity and cohesiveness of the party.
