Text your say: Jokowi for president

em>Your comments on the official appointment of Jakarta Governor Joko '€œJokowi'€ Widodo by the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) as its presidential candidate '€” a move that is believed will help the party'€™s performance in the legislative election:

So just by being a presidential candidate, Jokowi can help his party'€™s performance?

Has Jokowi been doing a great job as governor?

If he was successful in managing Jakarta, then it would make sense that he could improve the image of his party.

However, he has countless unsettled problems on his shoulders as he leads just a small part of this country and yet Megawati Soekarnoputri nominates him for president and thinks he can help the party'€™s performance.

How does one help make something better '€” by success or failure? Megawati has totally lost her mind and I have to laugh at your article.

Jokowi is better than the other candidates and my vote is for him, if he wants the job.

I don'€™t think there'€™ll be enough time for Jokowi to please everyone, but at least he'€™s putting in the effort to do so.

Everyone starts off as a rookie, but if he keeps on doing what he'€™s been doing, he will surpass all the others.

He will give people hope that an ordinary person can reach a high position despite not being rich or related to anyone with pull.

Jokowi, I believe you have spent enough time waiting in the wings.

Now it'€™s time to fly away and you'€™ll never know how far you can fly until you spread your wings.

The only thing I know for sure is that you are going to fly with all of us.

Fussion B

Jokowi is without doubt the most popular candidate, but this is not the main issue. The most important thing is how the people judge the capability of Jokowi as a president.

Jokowi will be fine, don'€™t worry. Among all the candidates, Jokowi is the best for managing Indonesia.
