BISSAU, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Guinea Bissau President Jose Mario Vaz said on Monday he will dissolve the government led by Prime Minister Baciro Dja and appoint another soon, as part of a plan to end a political deadlock that has gripped the country for over a year.

Dja was appointed in May to ease tensions that have paralyzed the West African country's political institutions since August 2015. But he has failed to win the full support of his ruling PAIGC party.

"I will dismiss this government and appoint without delay a Prime Minister who must form an inclusive government," Vaz said.
