Joko “Jokowi” Widodo, Jakarta governor, has topped a list of young potential candidates for the 2014 presidential election, according to a new survey.

The survey, compiled by the Poll Tracking Institute in Jakarta, said that Jokowi was viewed favorably by the largest share of respondents, 78.6 percent.

Your comments:

We are absolutely eager to support those candidates. We are bored and hopeless with the older political candidates.

We are dreaming of the new star. I hope the winning ticket is Joko-Dahlan.

I believe Indonesians are ready to choose a candidate not from a political party. The people have lost their confidence in political parties.

The Jokowi-Ahok winning ticket is an example of what people want. If Jokowi fulfills his promises to Jakartans within one year, he will run for the country’s most important political seat and will easily win. People wait and see.
