US EditionMali Junta Chief Assimi Goïta Grants His Own Unlimited Presidential Mandate
MALI, JUL 10 – General Assimi Goita extends his rule until at least 2030 without elections amid ongoing jihadist insurgency and political instability, following a national dialogue boycotted by political parties.
- Mali's junta chief Assimi Goïta has granted himself a five-year presidential mandate that is renewable unlimitedly without election, according to a law made public on Thursday.
- The law allows Goïta to lead Mali until at least 2030, despite earlier promises to return to civilian rule by March 2024.
- A junta-led national consultation earlier this year recommended that Goïta be proclaimed president without a vote for the five-year renewable term.
- Despite ongoing challenges, Goïta retains popularity among some citizens who see him as a reformer and advocate for sovereignty.
