Guinea-Bissau is still deadlocked for the appointment of the government. Since the legislative elections of March 10, the country still has no prime minister. This blockage is due to the lack of consensus on the formation of the National Assembly's office. In the absence of consensus, the President of the Republic, José Mario Vaz, plays the clock.
Three weeks after the inauguration of the deputies, the Prime Minister has still not been officially appointed. President José Mario Vaz seems to be playing the clock based on the lack of consensus regarding the formation of the National Assembly's office.
The new majority , led by the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC) opposed the choice of their former comrade, Braima Camara, leader of the Movement for Democratic Alternation (Madem), as the second vice-president, as well as to the Social Renovation Party candidate for the post of first secretary.
According to the regulation, these positions are allocated to the party, according to the number of seats obtained in the legislative elections.
The mediations - first that of the ministerial mission of ECOWAS and then that of the representative of the UN Secretary-General - have so far not brought any solution to the problem.
The parties remained camped on their positions. In this country, according to several observers, political debates are " finger-triggered " and obstacles are overcome " by kalashnikov ".
