SURABAYA: East Java Governor Basofi Sudirman and chairperson
of the Indonesian Democratic Party (PDI) Megawati Sukarnoputri
will meet here early next month to end the crisis gripping the
political organization's local chapter.

Relations between PDI and the provincial government are
strained following Basofi's refusal to recognize Megawati's
recent appointment of Sutjipto as the party's new chapter chief.

The local government favors Latief Pudjosakti, known as an
ardent critic of Megawati.

"We hope friction will end after the party and government
officials meet," Sutjipto was quoted by Antara as saying
yesterday. (pan)
