Maruarar Sirait is rumored to be joining one of the political parties (political parties) who are members of the Advanced Indonesia Coalition (KIM) after saying goodbye to the PDIP Perjuangan.

The issue was raised by the chairman of the Golkar Party DPP, Meutya Hafid. However, he dismissed Maruarar who would join the Golkar Party.

"I heard maybe to another place, but I just heard about it," Meutya told reporters at the DPR building, Tuesday, January 16.

"But Golkar is open. We're just happy. I know Ara too, maybe to Golkar, maybe other places too," he continued.

Meutya was reluctant to talk about what party lattice Ara would choose, Maruarar's nickname. Even so, he believes that the party is still in the same coalition supporting Paslon number 2, Prabowo-Gibran.

"Yes, definitely in one coalition (KIM, ed)," he said.

Questioning whether Ara would join the Prabowo-Gibran campaign team, Deputy Chairperson of TKN Prabowo-Gibran stated that his party was open to the former PDIP to join.

"I don't think there is any official communication yet. Once again, TKN is open. Moreover, he is a very active young figure and is actively discussing and fostering young people," he said.

However, Meutya dismissed if Ara's decision to leave PDIP became the representative of President Jokowi's political stance.

"Pak Jokowi is still at PDIP. This is not as well as Mr. Jokowi is not at PDIP. Ara-Ara, Pak Jokowi-Pak Jokowi," he concluded.
