The National Transitional Council[a] was established in Mali after the 2020 coup d'état to replace the National Assembly as a legislative body.
After allegations of fraud during the 2020 election for the National Assembly led to mass protests and military coup against President Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta, the transitional government appointed a new legislature in the form of the National Transitional Council. In practice, since Col. Assimi Goïta assumed power after the 2021 military coup, the council has not been an effective counterweight to the power of the executive.[2]
In July 2025, the military junta introduced a measure that gave Goïta a five-year term that is renewable indefinitely without elections, and it was passed by the transitional council.[3]
