Elections
Jokowi's popularity in Indonesian politics and the economy has been termed the "Jokowi Effect". When he was declared a candidate in the 2014 presidential election, it was believed to have boosted the popularity of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle to 30 per cent in the 2014 legislative election. In the capital market, the effect was also said to have boosted the Indonesian stock market and the Rupiah, as Jokowi was regarded as having a clean track record. The Jokowi Effect was likewise widely cited as a factor in Prabowo Subianto's victory in the 2024 Indonesian presidential election.
