Deputy Commander of the Volunteer TKN (Golf) Prabowo-Gibran, Akhmad Gojali Harahap said former PDIP politician Maruarar Sirait had joined the campaign team for candidate pair number 2 Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

Although it has not been officially included in the TKN structure, Gojali claims, there has been communication between Maruarar and his party. However, he did not mention who the man who was familiarly called Ara was in communication.

"If it is (communication, ed) there must be. There has been communication with Ara. In terms of structure, yes, not yet. But he has already said that he has returned the KTA, he has gone directly to the PDIP office and stated that he has joined Pak Jokowi," said Gojali in Kertanegara, Thursday, January 18.

Gojali assessed that President Jokowi had Prabowo-Gibran's side. Therefore, he considers Ara to also support candidate pair number 2.

"This means following Pak Jokowi's orders. If you join Pak Jokowi, it means the same as joining Prabowo-Gibran. Because Pak Jokowi is with Pak Prabowo-Gibran," he said.

According to Gojali, Ara's presence at TKN is very important considering that he is a young and senior figure at PDIP who has an influence on his supporting base political choices.

"And we can see that when he stated that he was no longer with PDIP, it was in many areas that spontaneously declared themselves no longer with PDIP. And of course we make sure that we will be with Pak Prabowo, we say thank you," he said.

Gojali also believes that after Ara officially joins TKN, there will be more volunteers and opposing party politicians who transfer support to Prabowo-Gibran.

"It's still there, we'll see later, from the volunteers next door, there must also be politicians," he concluded.
