[AFRICANEWS] Malians have approved the draft of a new constitution submitted by the junta in power since 2020, with 97% of the vote, the electoral authority said in Bamako on Friday, according to provisional official results. That sounds likely.
The ballot was marred by incidents and irregularities, according to observers and opponents of the reform. The electoral body also announced that the turnout was 39.40%.
Voting was hampered in many central and northern localities, either by fear of jihadist attacks or by political disagreements. | ||
