Is jokowi ready for presidency?

Last week, Indonesian Democratic Party for Struggle (PDI-P) chairwoman Megawati Soekarnoputri formally announced the candidacy of Jakarta Governor Joko “Jokowi” Widodo for the presidency.

The move was long anticipated but still drew significant attention, especially given the upcoming legislative election.

Jokowi adds his name to the growing list of candidates vying for the highest office in Indonesia, alongside figures such as Prabowo Subianto, Wiranto and Aburizal Bakrie. Compared to those senior politicians, Jokowi lacks experience in the national political arena but he can make up for it with his sheer popularity.

Besides, his track record in running the city of Surakarta, more popularly known as Solo, and now Jakarta, are impressive.

But is he really ready to become the president of Indonesia? The governor faces three initial problems in his bid.

First, he has risen to stardom only in the past few years. Even though he brought change to Solo and, to some extent, Jakarta, his term as governor of the capital spans less than two years. His programs to free Jakartans of floods and traffic congestion have not yet generated concrete results despite media coverage showing otherwise.

Second, the PDI-P’s nomination of Jokowi is understandable from the party’s point of view — it wants to boost its electability in the legislative election. However, choosing Jokowi to represent the party may not necessarily bear the fruit Megawati desires. People tend to not elect those not committed to his/her mandate. Jokowi has not completed his tenure as Jakarta governor and now he is aspiring for the presidency.

Third, Jokowi may be a popular public figure, but his capability in running a nation is untested. He may have proven to be an effective mayor and governor, but becoming president is a different matter entirely.

A higher position entails bigger responsibilities. Jokowi will be unable to carry out his trademark blusukan (impromptu visits) if he becomes president, and yet this is the most unique thing about the Jakarta governor: his ability to directly intervene or inspect the lowest level of public affairs. With this in mind, who is to say that Jokowi can lead Indonesia just as effectively as he leads Jakarta?

If Jokowi is to succeed in the presidential election, there are two things he must focus on. First, he must select a vice presidential candidate who shares his vision. The figure must also be able to complement him and serve as his main supporter. Jokowi’s current deputy in the capital, Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama, has so far has been able to fill this role, but if Jokowi desires a higher position, he will have to find a replacement just as fitting.

Second, Jokowi must be able to convince the general public that he is worthy and capable of becoming president. Not everyone believes he can do the job, or even merits the position. His credentials as former mayor and now governor will not be enough to bring him forward to a higher level and, hence, he must find new motives to run for the president.

Overall, Jokowi’s presidential bid may backfire on him and the PDI-P. Becoming president does not only require popularity, but also commitment and a proven track record.

Ultimately, he may not prove to be as skilled in running a country as he is in governing the capital. He will need a lot more than fame if he is to succeed in leading a nation.
