Jean-Marie Dore has been named by Guinea's coalition of political and civil society groups as the new candidate for prime minister on Monday.
"Jean-Marie Dore has been chosen on the basis of the criteria we listed at a meeting attended by representatives of political parties and social groups," said opposition figure Etienne Soropogui.
Dore, who is from a small ethnic group in Guinea's Forestiere region, leads the Union for the Progress of Guinea.
Dore's candidacy has to be approved by Guinea's interim junta chief Sekouba Konate.
Once endorsed, Dore will lead a long awaited transitional government to democratic elections and end the violence and instability that has rocked the west African nation since Cap. Moussa Dadis Camara's military take over in December 2008.
Camara's reign has been marred by massacre and crimes against humanity. On September 28, 150 people were killed and hundreds of women and girls were raped and sexually mutilated at an opposition rally in Conakry.
Camara, has been outside Guinea since December 3, when he was flown to Morocco to receive medical treatment following a failed assassination attempt.
During his absence, some members of the international community urged Cap. Camara to refrain from returning to Guinea, fearing that his comeback would sink the country into a civil war.
