The number of votes had clearly spoken that Indonesians are looking for a liberal leadership, and is seeking a person in Jokowi Widodo, who has no political experience and is considered to be an ordinary person. Political analyst Ikrar Nusa Bhakti at the Jakarta-based Indonesian Institute of Sciences stated, "Jokowi's win means a lot because this is the first time an ordinary person could win the election in Indonesia. Previously all of the presidential candidates were either former military men, or the son or daughters of the high-ranking people in Indonesia."
