Previously, Jokowi always had a campaign game. In the 2014 presidential election alone, Jokowi often did blusukan to shop for Indonesian people's problems. Jokowi is also good at taking the hearts of young people. He likes to build a close image with young people through attending music events.

Jokowi's image close to his citizens has been built since he became Mayor of Surakarta in the 2005-2012 era. Jokowi always opens his office to receive complaints from various elements of society. He is a leader who often offers various solutions for his citizens.
