The November 4 protest was triggered by accusations that Jakarta Governor Basuki "Ahok" Tjahaja Purnama insulted Islam by criticising opponents who used Koranic references to attack him

It has been less than a week since Jakarta saw a massive protest against Jakarta Governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama for his alleged blasphemy against the Quran, but police say there is already information circulating about another protest planned for November 25.

“There is already information [about a protest] but we will anticipate it,” said National Police Chief Tito Karnavian yesterday as quoted by Merdeka.

Tito said the government had not yet received any formal request for permission to hold the protest and he did not disclose who might be organizing it. The November 4 protest was initiated by a coalition of hardline Islamic groups including the Islamic Defenders Front.

Presumably any further protests would largely depend on the outcome of the investigation into Governor Ahok’s supposed blasphemy. The police have promised to process the case with an unprecedented level of transparency and various officials have promised that they would reach a conclusion within the next week and a half.

If Ahok were to be found to be innocent of the blasphemy charges then it is very likely that there would be some further protests but whether they would approach the size of the November 4 protest is hard to anticipate now.
