 Almost 100 percent of the citizens of Mali voted to change the constitution - the Electoral Commission

On Sunday last week, the citizens of Mali voted in the referendum which the military authorities of the country declared as an important step in response to the transfer of power to civilians.

The military has focused on changing the country's constitution as a cornerstone of rebuilding Mali, which is facing various armed groups including those who claim to be jihadists.

The number of voters was declared as 39.4 percent in the country on the hills in the Sahel region, which is suffering from the jihadist conflict that has been going on for 11 years, but the country's electoral commission said that 97 percent of the votes were cast. Referendum voted to approve the change.

Opponents of the plan believe that the election was held to allow Colonel Asimi Goita to run in the presidential election scheduled for February 2024, even though they initially promised to hand over their civilian lives after the election.
