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.
 3
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.

Artinya:
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.
