During his second leadership term, Jokowi must meet his promises, among other things concerning mental revolution concept, seven percent economic growth, trade deficit, exports, forest fires, employment, and BPJS, education quality improvement, according to the PKS politician.
A promise is a debt that must be paid. He prayed for Jokowi to be capable of meeting his promises stated during the presidential election campaigns.
"Insya Allah if all promises are met, he will be remembered as president who is successful in leading Indonesia during 10 years of his administration," he said.
The Jokowi- Ma'ruf Amin pair was inaugurated as President and Vice President for the 2019-2014 period at Parliament Building in Jakarta on Sunday.
Jokowi was re-elected as Indonesia's president for the 2019-2024 period based on the April 17 presidential election results.

Jokowi and his running mate, Ma'ruf Amin, won 55.5 percent of the vote as against 44.5 percent secured by the pair of retired general Prabowo Subianto-Sandiaga Uno.
The 2019 election was a replay of the contentious 2014 presidential election that exposed a deep national divide, as Jokowi and Subianto went head-to-head.
Jokowi was supported by 10 political parties grouped in the Indonesia Working Coalition (KIK) -- the ruling PDIP, PKB, PPP, Golkar, Nasdem, PSI, Perindo, PKPI, Hanura, and the latest one, PBB -- during the presidential election.
The Indonesian Justice Prosperity Coalition comprising Gerindra, PKS, PAN, Democratic Party, and Berkarya carried Prabowo Subianto and his running mate Sandiaga Uno in the 2019 presidential election. The coalition was declared defunct by Prabowo following the announcement of the election results in May.
