Opening for independent political party coming up in Asian island (4)
I believe the answer is:
bali
'asian island' is the definition.
(island in Indonesia)
'opening for independent political party coming up' is the wordplay.
'opening for' says to take the initial letters.
'political party' becomes 'lab' (abbreviation for Labour Party).
'coming up' is a reversal indicator.
The first letter of 'independent' is 'i'.
'i'+'lab'='ilab'
'ilab' reversed gives 'BALI'.
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for bali that I've seen before include "Indonesian island, east of Java" , "mountainous island" , "Indonesian island, capital Denpasar" , "Bail out of the island" , "Javanese island" .)
