Mali’s ruling junta has postponed the much-awaited elections indefinitely, raising a potential point of clash with regional bloc, the Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas), which has been pressurising the country to transit to civilian rule.
The election was scheduled to take place in February 2024. But the Malian military-led transition government said on Monday that it couldn’t move ahead with it due to technical reasons. A junta spokesman said a new date will be announced later.
