The ruling party in Guinea Bissau has renominated Domingos Simoes Pereira as prime minister, three days after he was sacked by President Jose Mario Vaz, a leader of the PAIGC party told AFP Saturday.

"We sent back Friday the proposal of our party concerning the future prime minister. It is the president of the party, Domingos Simoes Pereira," said a party vice-president Adja Satu Camara, adding that if the country's leader rejects the proposal, the party will purse all available options.
