schema:articleBody	West African nations on Thursday recognised Umaro Sissoco Embalo as president of Guinea-Bissau, after four months of dispute over whether his election was fraudulent. Embalo won a run-off presidential vote in the chronically unstable country in December, according to the country's electoral authority. But losing candidate Domingos Simoes Pereira, from the long-ruling PAIGC party, called the election fraudulent and took the case to the Supreme Court, which has not yet ruled. Embalo, a former prime minister, declared himself president in February without waiting for the court, creating a political impasse. The heads of state of Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) said in a statement that they recognised Embalo as president but also called for constitutional reform to be put to a referendum within six months. Experts have argued that the country's semi-presidential system contributes to its instability, with frequent clashes between the president and the prime minister. On Thursday, the prime minister appointed by Embalo, Nuno Gomes Nabiam, submitted the government's policy programme to parliament, which is meant to debate it in May. But the Embalo-opposing PAIGC party is in a strong position to block the programme, with 47 seats in the 102-seat legislature. Embalo on Wednesday threatened to dissolve the parliament should that happen. He added that he had also given "very clear instructions" to slash MPs' salaries should they block the programme. Guinea-Bissau has known little but coups and instability since its independence from Portugal in 1974. The country has also long struggled with poverty and corruption and it has also become a transit route for South American cocaine heading to Europe. aye/mrb/lal/stb/eml/ach
