The military-led government postponed the election for five years, receiving disapproval from regional authorities.
Mali was due to hold presidential and parliamentary elections next month, but the military-led government has postponed it for five years.
Army Colonel Assimi Goita, who staged two coups in less than a year, has been blamed for continued insecurity in northern Mali.
Major political parties have condemned the delay, threatening that the West African regional bloc will impose more sanctions on ECOWAS military leaders if a democratic transition does not happen soon.
What happens now? Can Mali return to civilian rule?
