00:00Sao Taumian Principe's Prime Minister, Américo Ramos, will serve another term at the helm of the country's government following legislative
00:08elections in September.
00:10He was reappointed by President Carlos Villanueva on Thursday, despite his independent Democratic Action Party coming second in the polls,
00:18with 23 of the 55 seats in the National Assembly.
00:21The movement for the liberation of Sao Taumian Principe came first, winning 24 seats, but still short of the 28
00:29required for an absolute majority.
00:32The President says that when it failed to provide a guarantee of sufficient parliamentary support to ensure the stability of
00:38government action, he turned to Ramos' party.
00:41The MLSTP has reportedly disputed the claim.
00:45Ramos' government will notably have to address the economic and social difficulties facing the archipelago.
