Some local leaders fear the move will dilute the indigenous Kanak vote.<br \/>\nElectoral reform is the latest flashpoint in a decades-long tussle over France\u2019s role in the mineral-producing southwest Pacific island some 1,500 km (930 miles) east of Australia.<br \/>\nThe Pacific Conference of Churches on Friday joined regional inter-governmental groups in calling for France to withdraw the constitutional bill, and said the United Nations should lead a dialogue mission to New Caledonia.<br \/>\nIn a statement, the churches said there had been a breakdown in dialogue between the French government and Kanak people.<br \/>\nPacific Elders Voice, a group of former Pacific leaders, said on Friday decisions were being made in Paris without meaningful consultation and France should listen to \u201cindigenous Kanak voices and the Pacific-wide support for self-determination\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>French police reinforcements have arrived in New Caledonia to regain control of the capital Noumea.
