Mali's military junta, led by interim President General Assimi Goita, aims to solidify its power through a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow Goita to remain in office until 2030. A national conference resulted in a draft law to dissolve the 2005 Political Parties Charter, restricting political party formation to just five parties and imposing high financial requirements for candidates. Critics, including Amnesty International, view these measures as a blatant attempt to undermine democracy and civil liberties in Mali.
Amnesty International has condemned the move as a 'proposal to dissolve all political parties in Mali.' This highlights the threat to democratic processes under the junta's rule.
According to Nouhoum Togo, raising 100 million CFA francs for founding a political party is unprecedented, highlighting the regime's attempt to stifle political diversity.
