A national political forum in Mali has proposed making military leader Assimi Goïta the country’s president, with a five-year renewable term starting in 2025.
The recommendation would change Mali’s transitional charter – the temporary legal framework put in place after the 2021 coup – to install General Goïta as president “for a five-year renewable term from 2025, like his peers in the AES”, according to a statement from the Prime Minister’s office.
