A national political conference in Mali has recommended that junta leader Assimi Goita, who seized power in coups in 2020 and 2021, be named president with a five-year renewable term starting in 2025. The forum also proposed dissolving all existing political parties, signaling a major shift away from civilian rule.

The move has raised concerns about the future of democracy in Mali and the potential for prolonged military rule. The recommendations reflect the junta's intent to solidify its grip on power amid ongoing political instability.
