Guinea-Bissau's President Umaro Sissoco Embaló has dissolved the parliament, three months after he had said he had survived a coup attempt.
He accused the lawmakers of corruption and also cited persistent and unresolved differences with parliament.
Mr Embaló dismissed the government but kept both the prime minister and his deputy in place in order to keep things running until the next legislative elections.
He says Guineans will be given the right to freely choose at the ballot box the parliament they wish to have.
