Le Premier ministre et ministre de l’Administration territoriale prévenait lors de sa rencontre avec la classe politique, en décembre 2024 : «la relecture de la charte des partis politiques va faire mal». Elle risque visiblement de faire encore plus mal, sur fond de nouvelle prorogation de la durée d’une Transition engluée dans le piège d’un léger report des élections depuis 15 mois. Au détour des recommandations des Assises Nationales de la Refondation, les autorités de la Transition semblent déterminées à apporter leur touche à la Charte des partis dans le sens d’une diminution drastique du nombre de formations politiques jugé pléthorique par les participants aux ANR. Selon nos sources, la loi d’habilitation qui autorise le gouvernement à légiférer par ordonnance sera mise à profit à cette fin, dans les semaines à venir, avec l’intention à peine voilée de s’y prendre par une relecture au moyen d’une ordonnance. En attendant, si rien n’a filtré des modalités de cette relecture, il nous revient de bonnes sources, qu’il n’est point exclu de procéder par dissolution d’au moins une centaine de formations politiques. Et ça n’est pas tout. Les mêmes confidences annoncent la suspension d’une cinquantaine de partis politiques pour une période de 2 ans. Toutefois, les formations dissoutes, selon leur schéma, pourront se regrouper au sein de nouvelles entités.
Si l’objectif avoué, par ailleurs, est de mettre en application l’une des recommandations des ANR parmi tant d’autres, une telle démarche s’assimile à un passage obligé par une nouvelle prorogation inévitable, le vraisemblable dessein inavouable. En tout cas, les autorités de la Transition pourraient se donner un argument et une raison de conditionner la tenue des élections à la fin de cette suspension, d’autant que des élections inclusives, libres et transparentes ne sont pas envisageables avec des candidats potentiels à la touche.
Comme quoi, le retour à l’ordre constitutionnel tant réclamé par la classe politique pourrait intervenir jusqu’à 2027.

I still hold all voters should be registered at latest six week before election plus record membership or no membership to political party. Any party which do not possess 5% of registered voters as member to their political party six weeks before election should not be able to be listed as candidate to political race. This should apply on nationwide basis for presidential election plus local basis for local elections. This will eliminate government need to fund seemingly endless number of political parties plus limit that funding to those having realistic chance of winning. As for inclusiveness there should be limitations imposed based on chance of winning. Anyone whose not able to list 5 percent of registered voters as member to their political party do not have chance at winning but due to government funding may influence election plus cause someone to win who do not in actuality reflect people will of who should win election as following example demonstrate.
There are ten candidates for office of president. Four of them have 5 percent or more of registered voters as members to their political party other six have 3 percent or less of registered voters as
members to their political party. Voters vary in their vote with four having only three percent of registered voters as members receiving 5 percent of actual vote plus other two having three percent of registered voters as members to political party received 2 percent each of actual vote. Of four candidates that had five percent or more of registered voters as members to their political party. One received 25 percent of vote, another 10 percent of vote, another 20 percent of vote plus fourth 19 percent of vote. With no one having 50 percent plus majority of vote there must be runoff election between candidate receiving 25 percent of vote versus candidate receiving 20 percent of vote. Had candidates having under three percent of registered voters not been allowed to compete due to their low membership plus ability to distort race plus not truly represent citizens intent race outcome would have been candidate receiving 25 percent of vote actually receiving 26, candidate receiving 20 percent of vote actually receiving 21 percent plus candidate receiving 19 percent of vote actually receiving 35 percent plus qualifying for runoff election that candidate did not qualify for when those having low political party voter membership was allowed to compete. Their participation distorted what candidates should have qualified for runoff election.
We do not want that very much like we do not want people starting political parties to receive free money from government. That is why we must obligate voters to be registered six weeks before election as voters plus either choose to be political party member or choose not to be political party member. Thereof we will have elections that reflect our citizens will.

“…Vers une nouvelle prorogation par dissolution des partis politiques ?…” CE NE SERAIT QUE JUSTICE ET POUR LE BIEN DU MALI.
Keitakeni les elections sont pour 2035 et le nombre des partis politiques 2 ou 3 comme au moment de l’independance en 1960.
