A constitutional referendum was planned to be held in Mali on 9 July 2017. However, in late June it was postponed with no date set.^[1]

Constitutional changes

The amendments to the constitution would create new regions in line with a 2015 agreement with separatists in northern Mali.^[1] They would also enhance the powers of the President.^[1]

Campaign

The proposals to give the president greater powers sparked protests in Bamako on 2 July prior to a visit by French President Emmanuel Macron.^[2]
