Assimi Goïta (born 22 October 1980) is a Malian soldier and politician who is the 7th and current President of Mali and as well as the Chairman of the National Committee for the Salvation of the People since 2021. Previously, he was the Vice President of Mali and the Deputy Chairman of the National Committee for the Salvation of the People from 2020 to 2021.[1] Goïta actively took part in the 2020 Malian coup d'état against then–President Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta where Keïta was successfully removed. A year later, Goïta later took power from his predecessor Bah Ndaw after the 2021 Malian coup d'état due to corruption and after the coup, Goïta immediately declared himself President.[2] In July 2022, Goïta has announced that Mali will hold presidential elections in February 2024.
