Opposition talks on a joint presidential candidate and the mode of fielding aspirants for other elective seats have reportedly been slowed by two key items.

Reports suggest that a meeting between two major organs of the National Super Alliance (NASA) on Tuesday could not resolve concerns about a legal document for registration of NASA as a coalition and on nominations. It is understood that the two issues have held back a planned retreat by the select committees tasked with formulating ways of choosing the coalition's presidential candidate.
