The president of the French Polynesian assembly, Oscar Temaru, has agreed to open the next sitting in two days after members threatened to elect another assembly president in his place.
Last week, the assembly didn't have a meeting because the government coalition was one member short to form a quorum following an opposition boycott.
As a result, Mr Temaru rescheduled the meeting until May the 22nd, saying it was not the opposition's role to ensure the government had the numbers to pass its programme.
The government side then met in another public building, purporting it was a regular assembly sitting and planning to choose a new assembly president to be able to proceed with its work immediately.
In the face of the dispute, the French high commissioner said both sides were wrong and urged Mr Temaru to convene the sitting without delay.
A meeting is now due in two days to discuss development plans to be submitted to Paris next week when President Gaston Tong Sang is expected to meet French government leaders.
Meanwhile, reports from Papeete say a small government re-shuffle is expected this week - the second since the new government came to power last month.
