Assimi Goïta, Mali’s military leader, has been granted a five-year presidential term by the transitional parliament, renewable without elections.
The bill was unanimously approved on Thursday by 131 members of the 147 legislators that make up the national transitional council.
The council had already adopted the measure in April.
The now approved bill says Goïta’s rule can be renewed “as many times as necessary” until Mali is “pacified”.
