 BIOGRAPHY JOKOWI
When he was a kid, he ever had a bitter experience when his
small house and also his father’s stall Cinderejo Lor in were
evicted and became a centre of travel agent. Jokowi’s mother
said that Jokowi was a quiet boy but he was also sociable.
He always avoided any fight to keep the peace around him.
His parents always taught him the meaning of sincerity and
responsibility. His appearance is always simple. Not only
that, when he was a kid, he used to walk to school while all
of his friends rode bicycle. Simplicity is the way he lives.

In 2005, Jokowi decided to be the candidate of Mayor in Solo

through PDI-P party. Many people were doubtful on his
competency to be a Mayor since they thought that Jokowi was
a businessman in furniture and was not a politician at that time,
even when he was announced that he won in the election. Then,
people began to trust him when he made many progressive
innovation and breakthrough. By his hands, Solo got many
positive changes
BIOGRAPHY JOKOWI
Jokowi’s journey is unpredictable and we really never
know how people meet their faith. Jokowi is one of
the examples. He might never dream of being the
governor of the capital city of Indonesia, even being
the President. His path is not easy, too. There were
many rumours and issues during his candidacy, but he
kept calm and strong to face anything that was going
to attack him from every side.

In 2014, Jokowi was elected to be the 7th President of

Indonesia with Jusuf Kalla as the Vice President.
Jokowi always tries to give his best to make Indonesia
has better future. He is always spiritful with his
popular jargon ‘Kerja Nyata’.
