Jakarta Governor
Jokowi requested personally by Jusuf Kalla to run for Governor of DKI Jakarta in Pilgub in 2012. Because it is a cadre of Democratic Party of Struggle, then Jusuf Kalla asked the support of Megawati, who was initially seen still in doubt. As a representative, T Basuki Purnama who was a member of Parliament nominated by moving to accompany Jokowi Gerindra because Golkar has agreed to support Alex Noerdin as Candidates for Governor.
The couple initially not seeded. This is evident from the first prospective claim reinforced by the Indonesian Survey Circle that couples Fauzi Bowo and Nachrowi Ramli will win the election in a single round. In addition, the MCC who earned more than 42 percent of the vote in the elections for Adang Daradjatun 2007 also brings Hidayat Nur Wahid, who has been known to people as the Chairman of the Constitutional Committee of the 2004-2009 period. Compared to the other party, PDIP and Gerindra only got each only 11 and 6 seats of the total 94 seats, compared to 32 seats for the Democratic Party's Fauzi Bowo, and 18 seats belong to the MCC for Hidayat Nur Wahid. However LP3ES already predicting that Jokowi and Fauzi Bowo will meet in round two.
Quick count conducted a survey agencies on election day, July 11, 2012 and the day after that, showing Jokowi lead, with Fauzi Bowo in the second position. The couple turned underdog won election 2012 Jakarta because of the proximity Jokowi with Hidayat Nur Wahid as Mayor of Solo 2010 elections and supporting Faisal Basri and Alex Noerdin of the survey results tend to switch to him.

2012 Second-Round Elections
Jokowi tried to call and visit all candidates, including Fauzi Bowo, but only managed to stay in touch with Hidayat Nur Wahid and led to speculation the coalition in the second round. Afterwards, Fauzi Bowo also met Hidayat Nur Wahid.
But things turned around after parties supporting other candidates in the first round, even expressed support for Fauzi Bowo. Jokowi relationship with MCC is also worsened by the allegation that a successful team Jokowi raise the issue of political dowry Rp50 billion. MCC requested this issue be stopped, while a successful team Jokowi assert mention figures such fees. Conditions losing potential support from the major parties claimed Jokowi as the phenomenon of "People's Coalition against Coalition Party". The claim was denied by the Democratic Party because of the PDI-P and Gerindra remains a political party that supports Jokowi, unlike Faisal Basri and Hendrardji who is an independent candidate. Jokowi finally got the support of important figures such as Misbakhun from the PKS, Jusuf Kalla from the Golkar Party, Indra J Piliang from the Golkar Party, and the Father who is the sister-in-law Heri Fauzi Bowo.
Political battle is also venturing into the world of social media with the launch of Jasmev, the establishment media center, and the use of new media in political campaigns such as Youtube. Parties Fauzi Bowo also took to social media, but admitted excess campaign team and supporters Jokowi in this channel.
The second round also saw a variety of alleged smear campaign, which among other issues ranging from the SARA, the issue of deliberate fires, corruption and transactional politics.
Ahead of the second round, popping back surveys that predict victory Jokowi, including 36.74% against 29.47% by SSSG, 72.48% against 27.52% by the INES, 45.13% against 37.53% in the survey electability by IndoBarometer, 45.6% against 44.7% by the Indonesian Survey Institute.
After the second round of voting, a quick tally Indonesia Survey Institute shows a couple Jokowi - Ahok as the winner with 53.81%. While its rival, Fauzi Bowo - Nachrowi Ramli got 46.19%. [55] Similar results were also obtained by the Quick Count IndoBarometer 54.24% against 45.76%, [56] and five TV stations. [57] estimates while the Quick Count method reinforced by Real Count PDI to yield 54.02% against 45.98%, 54.72% by Cyrus Network against 45.25%. And finally on 29 September 2012, the Election Commission set a pair Jokowi Jakarta - Ahok as governor and deputy governor of the new administration for the period 2012-2017 replaces Fauzi Bowo - Prijanto.

Post-Election 2012
After officially won the vote count, Jokowi still buffeted by issues blocking attempts by Parliament Surakarta resignation., But denied by Parliament. Home Minister Gamawan Fauzi also said it would step in if problems occur, because the appointment of the Governor of DKI Jakarta Jokowi not violate any rules if at the time of registering as a candidate governor has expressed readiness to resign from his previous term if elected, and actually resigned after being elected. But thereafter, the House plan amendment to Act No. 34 of 2004, so the After Jokowi, regional head who ran in the other areas, must first resign from his position at the time of registering as a candidate.
Top reasons related administrative resignation as Mayor of Surakarta and tenure Fauzi Bowo who has not expired, the inauguration Jokowi delayed from the scheduled beginning October 7, 2012 to October 15, 2012. The event was marred debate about the cost because of the expense statement Jokowi who wants a simple inauguration. Parliament then lower the cost of the inauguration of a 550 million dollars from 1.05 billion dollars in the originally budgeted ABPD Amendment. Inaugural event was also enlivened by vendors who eliminate wares.
The day after the inauguration, Jokowi immediately scheduled a visit to the community.
Union protest over minimum wage
Subsequently, on October 24, 2012 ago, a demonstration at City Hall made a bunch of workers from the Confederation of All Indonesian Workers Union. Initially workers demanding higher minimum wage to 2.79 million rupiah, which responded to an invitation by Basuki Tjahaja Purnama dialogue with labor representatives. Finally agreed to use the numbers Sufficiency Decent Living survey last month, from the previous averaged data from February 2012 to October 2012, as well as many other points to 13 deal.
Jokowi then handed over to the proper calculation of UMP councils were initially led to recommendation number 1.9 million dollars. But the trial is interrupted by labor actions that call back their representatives, so that the new figure represents the interests of employers. It was agreed by all parties that the provincial minimum wage (UMP) of 2.2 million dollars which is then set by the Wages Councils.
Jokowi conduct consultations, including with the minister Muhaimin Iskandar, Governor of Banten and West Java Governor to determine the exact UMP for workers in Jakarta in order not to experience imbalances with a buffer zone, but still feasible to enjoy working.
Determination of UMP by Jokowi still waiting for an agreement Employers and Workers, and the added reason "Waiting for a Good Day". So until 18 November 2012, the applicable UMP still amounted to 1.5 million dollars.

Jobs and career
Habibie has previously worked at Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm, an airline company based in Hamburg, Germany, that reached the top of his career as a Vice President of technology. In 1973, he returned to Indonesia at the request of former President Suharto.
He then served as Minister of research and technology since 1978 until March 1998. Before becoming President (May 21, 1998-October 20, 1999), was Vice President BJ Habibie (14 March 1998 – 21 May 1998) in the seventh development cabinet under President Suharto.
He was appointed Chairman of KADIN (Indonesia Muslim Intellectuals), during his tenure as Minister.

Presidency
Habibie inherited a chaotic condition in post Suharto's resignation breaking loose on the new order era, giving rise to rampant riots and disintegerasi almost the entire territory of Indonesia. As soon as it gained control for President, Habibie quickly assembled a Cabinet. One of the important tasks is to return get support from the International Monetary Fund and donor community for economic recovery program. He also frees political prisoners and easing controls on freedom of speech and the activities of the organization.

During the brief reign he managed to provide a solid foundation for Indonesia, at which time the Antitrust ACT or born to ACT healthy competition, a change in the political parties ACT and the most important is the autonomy of the region. Through the implementation of the autonomous region's turmoil disintergrasi inherited since the new order era managed to finally bury a muted and in the era of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, in the absence of autonomous region ACT certainly Indonesia will suffer the same fate as the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia.

The appointment of BJ Habibie as President raises a wide range of controversies for the people of Indonesia. The party considers the appointment of Habibie pro is unconstitutional. It complies with the provisions of article 8, which States that the Constitution "when the President died, stopped, or is unable to perform his duties in his time in Office, he was succeeded by Vice President of until his time runs out". While the parties consider that the appointment of cons B.J. Habibie was considered unconstitutional. This is contrary to the provisions of article 9 of the Constitution states that "assuming the Office of the President before the President has to say the oath or pledge in front of the ASSEMBLY or the HOUSE of REPRESENTATIVES".

The steps undertaken in the politics of B.J. Habibie is:

1. Giving people freedom to channel aspirasinya so many emerging new political parties i.e. as many as 48 political parties
2. Freeing political prisoners (prisoners) as Sri Bintang Pamungkas (former member of Parliament who went to jail for criticizing President Soeharto) and Jonathan Pakpahan (labor leader who was sentenced for allegedly triggering the riots in Medan in 1994)
3. Removed the ban on the establishment of independent unions
4. Creates three democratic legislation, namely:
5. Act No. 2 of 1999 on political parties
6. Act No. 3 of 1999 on general election
7. Act No. 4 of 1999 regarding the arrangement position of DPR/MPR
8. Set 12 MPR Decrees and ordinances which reflect there are 4 answers from the demands of the reform are:

In the field of Economics, he managed to cut the exchange rate of the rupiah against the dollar still ranges between $ 1- $ 1.5 . But at the end of his reign, especially after his impeachment, the MPR rejected the exchange rate rupiah soared up on the level of Usd $ 6.5 per u.s. dollar value that will never be reached again in the next Government. In addition, he also began applying the independence of Bank Indonesia to be more focused with the economy. To resolve the monetary crisis and economic improvement, B.J. Habibie do the steps for indonesia as follows:

1. Do a recap of banking restructuring and through the establishment of the AGENCY and the State Assets Management unit
2. Liquidate troubled banks
3. Raise the exchange rate of the rupiah against the dollar to below Rp. 10.000
4. Forming and monitoring institutions to issue foreign debt settlement
5. Implement the required economic reforms the IMF
6. Passed Act No. 5 of 1999 concerning the prohibition of Monopoly Practices and unhealthy Competition
7. Passed Act No. 8 of 1999 on the protection of Consumers

One of the mistakes that the largest opposition party was assessed after serving as President, the holding of the referendum, BJ Habibie allowed the province of East Timor (now Timor-Leste), he proposed quite tumultuous public at that time, namely conducting polls for the East Timorese to choose independence or remain part of Indonesia. During his presidency, East Timor separated from the unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia and became a sovereign country detached on 30 August 1999. The loss of East Timor, on the one hand it disesali by some citizens of Indonesia, but on the other hand cleaning up Indonesia's name which is often tainted by allegations of human rights violations in East Timor.

This is the case which prompted the opposition parties who are not satisfied with the background of the more enterprising Habibie dropped Habibie. These efforts finally got done on the 1999 General Assembly, he decided not to run again after his impeachment report is rejected by the MPR.

The views of the Government on the initial reform era Habibie tends to be negative, but in line with the development time of many who assess positively Government of Habibie. Any positive Outlook that has been said by l. Misbah Hidayat in his Comparative study of Administrative Reform: Government of Three Presidents.

"Vision, mission and leadership of President Habibie in carrying out reform agenda did not get released from the experience of his life. Any decisions taken are based on factors that can be measured. It's no wonder that each policy were taken sometimes make people terkaget-kaget and do not understand. Even some among the considered apolitical and not Habibie callous. Habibie's leadership like that pattern can be understandably considering the background of his studies as a doctor in the field of aircraft construction. With regard to the spirit of democratization, Habibie has done changes by building a Government that is transparent and dialogis. Democratic principles are also applied in economic policy accompanied law enforcement and is aimed for the welfare of the people. In managing the activities of the Cabinet of the day-day went by when, Habibie. It increases the coordination and remove egosentisme sekotral antarmenteri. In addition a number of coloring creativity Habibie leadership style in handling the issue of the nation.[5] in order to overcome the economic problems, for example, he appointed a Special Envoy of entrepreneurs. And employers who bear the cost alone. The task is very important, because one of the Government's weakness is the lack of any real Indonesia explain the circumstances in the international community. Meanwhile the press, especially the foreign press, impressed only exposing the negative news about Indonesia so unbalanced in news coverage. ”

Post-presidency
After he came down from his position as President, he lived in Germany more than in Indonesia. But when the Presidency of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, he was again active as an advisor to the President for control of the process of democratization in Indonesia through the establishment of the Organization of the Habibie Center.
