JOKOWI: Son of a carpenter to Indonesia's 7th President

Joko Widodo, or fondly known as Jokowi, 53, is set to be inaugurated as the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia after a swearing-in ceremony on Monday.

The ceremony will be held at 10am in front of the People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR), the highest state institution in Indonesia.

Jokowi and Jusuf Kalla had won in the presidential elections last July after garnering 70,990,832 votes or 53.15 percent from the total 133,567,276 votes.

Jokowi will replace Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who had held the presidential post since 2004.
