Joko Widodo's presidential campaign in 2014 was announced on 14 March 2014, when his political party PDI-P declared him as the party's candidate for the upcoming election in 2014. He was then the Governor of Jakarta, and previously the Mayor of Surakarta. With former vice president Jusuf Kalla as his running mate, he was elected as President of Indonesia following election on 9 July and official KPU announcement on 22 July.

Being supported by four political parties, Widodo officially launched his campaign in May, followed by two months of social media and in-person outreach. After a series of debates and challenges, the vote on July 9 resulted in his victory, with him securing over 53% of the ballots. Following a failed lawsuit from his opponent, Prabowo Subianto, and Hatta Rajasa, he was officially inaugurated on October 20, 2014, becoming the seventh President of Indonesia.
