Mali's transitional parliament has approved a five-year renewable presidential mandate for Assimi Goita, allowing him to lead the country without elections until at least 2030. This move received unanimous support from the National Transitional Council and is positioned as a step towards rebuilding Mali. However, critics argue it intensifies the military's consolidation of power and undermines freedoms. The revised transition charter has raised concerns due to the removal of references to political parties, suggesting a lack of political neutrality in the governance structure.
The country's transitional parliament approved the move on Thursday, clearing the way for Goita to lead Mali until at least 2030, without requiring an election.
Malick Diaw, president of the National Transitional Council, stated the adoption of this text is in accordance with the popular will and a major step forward in the rebuilding of Mali.
Critics say this is the latest in a series of restrictions on freedom imposed by Mali's military leadership to consolidate its power in the country.
Concerns have been raised about the revised transition charter, as all references to political parties have been removed, questioning the government's political neutrality.
