CONAKRY, Jan 26 (Reuters) - Guinean President Lansana Conte has agreed with unions on powers for a new prime minister, opening the way for a possible settlement to end a crippling general strike, a union leader said on Friday.

"He (Conte) has accepted the principle of a Prime Minister who is head of government. We are satisfied. It was the most important point for us," Amadou Diallo, assistant secretary- general of the National Confederation of Guinean Workers (CNTG), told reporters.
