JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network): Negotiations among political-party elites continue to intensify as the Nov 25 deadline for the presidential election registration draws closer, leaving the possibility open of a reconfiguration of the current electoral alliances.

In a move that further highlights the unraveling of the coalition of pro-government parties, Gerindra Party officials on Thursday (July 20) visited the headquarters of the Democratic Party, the leading opposition party, in Menteng, Central Jakarta.
