Responding to the LSI survey's results is the PDIP Secretary-General Hasto Kristyanto, who said it was a clear sign for President Jokowi to continue the legacy he has achieved this far, such as the successful implementation of both national and international sports events from PON XX in Papua to 2018 ASIAN Games and even infrastructure development.

In his eyes, Jokowi has succeeded in building Indonesia with a resilient economy, dealing with foreign pressure, and exhibiting Indonesia's leadership on the international stage.

Hasto added that the ideas circulating among the elites of political parties that Jokowi must continue his leadership are due to the people's satisfaction with the president's work.

However, both Hasto and PDIP gave counterproductive answers. Positive receptions from the public surrounding Jokowi's leadership must not be interpreted as an effort to expand power, he said.

Instead of interpreting it as extending power of the current running regime, Jokowi must make sure to continue and filter which policies are deemed as good as well as would likely to have been successfully implemented in the next presidential administration.
