We go behind the scenes with the man tipped to become Indonesia's next president – governor of Jakarta, Joko Widodo.  Joko Widodo, known as Jokowi, is a man on a mission. Since he was elected governor of Jakarta in October 2012, he has undertaken a gruelling daily schedule in his efforts to make the city more liveable for its 10 million residents.  The 52-year-old's seemingly bottomless reserves of energy have been put to the test - Jakarta has no shortage of pressing issues - but his efforts are paying dividends. Everywhere Jokowi goes, people swarm around him. His popularity has risen so rapidly that he is tipped to become Indonesia's next president when elections are held in July.
