Mohamad Taufik (born 3 January 1957) is an Indonesian politician from Gerindra who is the deputy speaker of Jakarta Council.

Background

Mohamad Taufik was born in Jakarta on 3 January 1957.

Career

He was the head of the Jakarta office of the General Elections Commission (KPU), but he was sentenced guilty of corruption in 2004 and was imprisoned for 18 months.

Councillor

Following the 2014 presidential election, in which Prabowo Subianto lost, Taufik demanded the head of KPU be arrested, accusing him of cheating by opening ballot boxes. This statement, delivered in front of a crowd protesting the results, caused KPU officials to report Taufik to the police.

2019 election

For the 2019 election, KPU had introduced a new regulation barring, among others, candidates who had been convicted of graft before from running. Despite this, Taufik registered for reelection, and KPU demanded his party remove him from the candidates list. Taufik then filed an appeal to the Supreme Court of Indonesia, with the Elections Supervisory Agency [id] approving him to run. Eventually, he was approved by Jakarta's KPU as one of the candidates.
