he Romahurmuzziy camp elected in the United Development Party's (PPP) Surabaya congress has said it is hoping to reconcile with the Djan Faridz-led camp elected in the Jakarta congress, ahead of this year's simultaneous local elections.
'We are seeking to reconcile with those that participated in the Jakarta congress ahead of the elections,' Romahurmuzziy camp secretary-general Qoyyum Abdul Jabbar said here on Sunday.
He, however, said that although his camp was seeking reconciliation, it would depend on the Djan Faridz camp.
'There will be no reconciliation without their acceptance,' he said as quoted by Antara news agency.
He stressed that according to a ministerial decree issued by the law and human rights affairs minister recently, his camp was valid because the Surabaya congress was attended by 72 percent of the party's functionaries.
He said his party aimed to win 75 local elections but he declined to mention his party's strongholds in provinces, regencies and municipalities.
Like the Golkar Party, PPP split when their elites were divided over a number of issues, including the organizing of its national congress held once every five years.
Simultaneous local elections are set to be held in December 2015. (rms)(++++)
