BANGUI, Central African Republic (AP) ? A spokesman for Central African Republic's new government says the country's self-declared president is now willing to speed up the process of holding new elections.
Government spokesman Crepin Mboli-Goumba said Thursday that leader Michel Djotodia had accepted recommendations made by neighboring countries earlier this week.
Those suggestions include setting up an interim council that will lead the country though a political transition to democracy. Mboli-Goumba says a president will be chosen to lead that body soon.
Djotodia's rebel fighters seized control of the capital on March 24, overthrowing President Francois Bozize who had himself taken power after a rebellion a decade ago.
The African Union and the United States have condemned the action.
Thursday's commitment to a quicker political transition comes after Djotodia met with foreign ministers from neighboring countries.
