Joko Widodo

Joko Widodo (popularly known as Jokowi; born 21 June 1961) is the seventh President of
Indonesia, in office since 2014. Previously he was the Mayor of Surakarta from 2005 to 2012 and
Governor of Jakarta from 2012 to 2014. He is the first Indonesian president without a high-
ranking political or military background.
Jokowi was nominated by his party, the Indonesian PDI Perjuangan, to run in the 2012
Jakarta gubernatorial election with Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (often known as Ahok) as his
running mate. Jokowi was elected as Governor of Jakarta on 20 September 2012 after a second
round runoff election in which he defeated the incumbent governor Fauzi Bowo. Jokowi's win
was widely seen as reflecting popular voter support for "new" or "clean" leaders rather than the
"old" style of politics in Indonesia.
His nomination as PDI-P candidate for the 2014 presidential election was announced on
14 March 2014. The presidential election was held on 9 July 2014. After some controversy about
the result of the election, Jokowi was named as president-elect on 22 July. He was formally
declared as the winner of the election by the General Elections Commission (Komisi Pemilihan
Umum or KPU), winning more than 53% of the vote over his opponent, Prabowo Subianto, who
disputed the outcome and withdrew from the race before the count was completed.
Joko Widodo, who was awarded third pace in the 2012 World Mayor Project, became the
elected governor of Jakarta in October 2012 after serving as mayor of Surakarta (Solo) since
2005. During his time as Mayor of Surakarta, Joko Widodo (Jokowi) turned the crime-ridden city
into a regional centre for arts and culture, which has started to attract international tourism. His
campaign against corruption earned him the description of being the most honest politician in
Indonesia. Joko Widodo’s victory over Jakarta’s incumbent governor Fauzi Bowo was largely due
to his track record as mayor of his home town and his reputation for honesty and humility.

 Joko Widodo

Joko Widodo (dikenal sebagai Jokowi; lahir pada 21 Juni 1961) adalah Presiden ketujuh Indonesia
sejak 2014. Sebelumnya ia adalah Walikota Surakarta pada periode 2005-2012 dan Gubernur Jakarta
dari 2012 sampai 2014. Dia adalah orang Indonesia pertama yang menjadi presiden tanpa latar belakang
politik atau militer berpangkat tinggi.
Jokowi dicalonkan menjadi oleh partainya, PDI Perjuangan Indonesia, untuk menjalankan di
pemilihan gubernur jakarta pada tahun 2012 dengan Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (sering dikenal sebagai
Ahok) sebagai pasangannya. Jokowi terpilih sebagai Gubernur DKI Jakarta pada 20 September 2012
setelah pemilihan putaran kedua di mana ia mengalahkan gubernur petahana Fauzi Bowo. Kemenangan
Jokowi ini secara luas dilihat sebagai mencerminkan dukungan pemilih populer untuk "baru" atau
pemimpin "bersih" daripada "tua" gaya politik di Indonesia.
pencalonannya sebagai kandidat PDI-P untuk pemilihan presiden 2014 diumumkan pada tanggal 14
Maret 2014. Pemilihan presiden digelar pada 9 Juli 2014. Setelah beberapa kontroversi tentang hasil
pemilu, Jokowi disebut sebagai presiden terpilih pada 22 Juli. Ia secara resmi dinyatakan sebagai
pemenang pemilu oleh Komisi Pemilihan Umum (KPU), memenangkan lebih dari 53% suara atas
lawannya, Prabowo Subianto, yang disengketakan hasilnya dan menarik diri dari lomba sebelum
menghitung selesai.
Joko Widodo, yang dianugerahi posisi ketiga di Walikota Dunia Terbaik 2012, menjadi gubernur
terpilih Jakarta pada Oktober 2012 setelah sebelumnya menjabat sebagai walikota Surakarta (Solo) sejak
tahun 2005. Selama dia menjadi Walikota Surakarta, Joko Widodo (Jokowi) mengubah kota yang penuh
kejahatan menjadi pusat regional untuk seni dan budaya, dan telah mulai menarik pariwisata
internasional. kampanye melawan korupsi membuatnya mendapatkan deskripsi menjadi politisi paling
jujur di Indonesia. Kemenangan Joko Widodo atas Gubernur petahana Jakarta Fauzi Bowo sebagian
besar disebabkan track record-nya sebagai walikota kota sebelumnya dan reputasinya untuk kejujuran
dan kerendahan hati.
