Indonesian President Joko Widodo is handing over the reins, even as his popularity remains high. During his term, Jokowi has started many economic and infrastructure projects, and raised Indonesia's international profile. At the same time, issues of inequality, corruption and tensions over Chinese investments remain.

Unusually, the outgoing president appears to be quite involved in the upcoming race, with some observers seeing favour towards one candidate. Will President Jokowi play kingmaker in the choice of his successor? And will the next president pick up where Jokowi has left off, or take Indonesia in a different direction?

    Mr Jokowi is one of the visionary and best presidents in Indonesia. Not only has he advanced the country with massive infrastructure development but also the people's social safety net has been initiated by him not only regarding health insurance but also education. This program is only about past 10 years into its leadership, and clearly the welfare results will be visible, not now, but if it is sustainable, it can be felt in the next 2-3 decades. Also, the people's sense of optimism was built by his speeches, which brought new hope that this country is a great country and that if all elements of the nation work together to advance the country, in 2045 this country will become a developed country. The hopes voiced by Mr President Jokowi are very influential among the younger generation. Because of that, Mr. Jokowi in his final year in office still received an approval rating and performance satisfaction from the Indonesian people was still around 80%. Meanwhile, his influence on the Presidential Election this time does not automatically mean that the percentage of his approval rating will be distributed entirely to the pair he favors, but rather the people are still divided by people/characters who are different from themselves. But suppose the constitution allows Mr. Jokowi's participation in the presidential election this time will certainly have his approval rating figures reflected in his electoral level, and has the potential to win higher than the current presidential candidates.
