Xanana Gusmão’s majority coalition has formally nominated him to replace Taur Matan Ruak as PM, if President Francisco Guterres Lú-Olo approves the alternative government.
Gusmão, a former PM and president, leads the coalition’s largest party CNRT. But the coalition had yet to confirm who would lead if they formed government.
Coalition spokesman, António da Conceição, said Gusmão’s name was put forward in a new letter presented to the president this morning.
The decision now rests with President Lú-Olo as to whether or not he accepts Taur Matan Ruak’s resignation, and swear in a new government.
