Mali's Prime Minister Choguel Maiga has been dismissed from his position, as announced by state television ORTM. The decision comes in the midst of a dispute over the ruling junta's failure to conduct elections within the promised 24-month transition period back to democracy.
The military rulers, who took control through coups in 2020 and 2021, had initially pledged to hold elections in February. However, the vote was postponed indefinitely citing technical issues.
