**General Assimi Goïta consolidated his position in July 2025 when Mali’s National Transitional Council approved a five-year presidential mandate renewable indefinitely without elections, extending his rule until at least 2030.** This followed the indefinite suspension of political party activities in May 2025 and the military junta’s full control over key institutions. In late April 2026, coordinated insurgent attacks by the Azawad Liberation Front and JNIM targeted military sites near Bamako; Goïta briefly went out of public view before reappearing and assuming the defense minister role after the incumbent’s death. These events, combined with ongoing counter-insurgency operations and alignment within the Alliance of Sahel States, have reinforced the junta’s grip, with no scheduled elections or constitutional transition mechanisms currently in place that would alter the leadership before the mandate’s end.

The departure will be considered to be announced when Assimi Goïta, the Government of Mali, or their authorized representatives publicly and definitively announce that Goïta has ceased or will cease to hold the position of President of Mali. Such an announcement will qualify regardless of when the specified person formally leaves the position. Announcements of the specified person’s resignation, removal, or departure through other means all qualify.
Only announcements which are framed as announcing a departure intended to be effective within 18 months of the date of the announcement will qualify (e.g., neither “I will leave office in 2 years,” nor “I will not be in office forever,” would qualify).
Announcements of temporary leaves of absence, dated suspensions, indefinite suspensions, administrative leaves, or other temporary changes to the specified person’s duties in the specified position do not qualify.
The following do not qualify as public and definitive announcements: statements that the specified person is considering or open to departing; conditional statements that the specified person will depart only if certain conditions are met; the announcement of an offer of resignation that requires acceptance and remains pending or has been refused; media reports that the specified person plans to depart; statements made in sarcasm or jest; and statements by persons other than the specified person, the relevant authority governing the specified position, or their respective authorized representatives.
If the specified person holds the specified position on a predefined term with a scheduled end date, only announcements that they will depart the position prior to the scheduled end of their term qualify.
If the specified person formally ceases to hold the specified position before the end of their scheduled term without a qualifying announcement, the market will resolve to “Yes” if a consensus of credible reporting confirms the departure by the specified date, 11:59 PM ET.
The primary resolution sources for this market will be official information from Assimi Goïta, and the Government of Mali; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
