Prabowo Courts Largest Party for Coalition, Meets Candidates for Govt Posts

PRABOWO SUBIANTO - JAKARTA. Indonesia's incoming president Prabowo Subianto met candidates for senior government posts for a second day on Tuesday, as he seeks to bring the country's biggest political party into his already dominant parliamentary coalition.

If Prabowo can reach a deal with Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) there would be no opposition parties in parliament, an unprecedented situation since Indonesia began holding direct presidential elections in 2004.
