The military junta in Mali has officially designated Colonel Assimi Goita as the new president of the Republic of Mali.
The 37-year-old newly appointed president of Mali also doubles as the Head of the National Committee for the Salvation of the People (CNSP).
The Malian military junta based the appointment of the new president on the provisions in Article 32 of Title III of the 24 August 2020 Fundamental Act of the CNSP (N ° 001/CNPS of 24 August 2020) which stipulates that
“the national committee for the salvation of the people appoints from among its members a president who assumes the functions of Head of STATE”.
The Fundamental Act further stipulates that,
"when he is prevented from fulfilling his functions, temporarily or permanently, his powers are exercised by a Vice-President in the order determined by the Committee".
As such, the CNSP also maintains Colonel Malick Diaw as the vice-president of the Republic of Mali.
With respect to article 33 of the Fundamental Act of the CNSP, the president of the CNSP embodies national unity and is the guarantor of national independence, territorial integrity, respect for international treaties and agreements to which Mali is a party.
Diving deeper into Article 34 of the same Act, the president of the CNSP is vested with the powers to sign ordinances and decrees adopted by the CNSP.
As per Article 36 of the Act, the President of the CNSP has the powers to appoint ambassadors and extraordinary envoys to foreign powers, who are answerable to him.
Article 41 places the hammer on the nail by stipulating that the provisions of the Fundamental Act apply as constitutional provisions, supplement or supplement those of the Constitution of February 25, 1992.
This new government comes in barely hours after the “former” Malian President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita has regained his freedom from the putschists following international pressure.
Ibrahim Boubacar Keita was arrested by the mutinous army on 18 August 2020 and forced to announce his resignation on state media.
The military junta wants to rule Mali for a period of 3 years while they prepare to set up a transition governments.
IBK announced his resignation on state broadcaster in the late hours of Tuesday 18 August, same day he was arrested with his Prime Minister.
"For seven years I have with great joy and happiness tried to put this country back on its feet. If today some people from the armed forces have decided to end it by their intervention, do I have a choice? I should submit to it because I don't want any blood to be shed” IBK announced.
