When one of Indonesia's most powerful politicians wanted to be part of a new government, he did not approach Joko "Jokowi" Widodo, the front-runner in next week's presidential election.
Instead, sources say, he went to the home of Jokowi's political patron, a former president who did not impress in her short tenure and who many fear will be the power behind the throne if the favorite wins the July 9 election.
The politician, Aburizal Bakrie of the Golkar party, was rebuffed by former President Megawati Sukarnoputri.
