CONAKRY, Jan 24 (Reuters) - Guinean President Lansana Conte has agreed in principle to name a new consensus prime minister, the main demand of unions holding the country in a crippling general strike, mediators said on Wednesday.

"He is ready to listen to the people. He is even in agreement that, if the people want one, there should be a new prime minister," Pastor Etienne Leno, one of several religious leaders who met with Conte on Wednesday, told Reuters. "Now we must find a credible candidate."
