Abdoulaye Idrissa Maïga

Abdoulaye Idrissa Maïga, born on March eleventh, nineteen fifty-eight, in Gao, is a prominent Malian politician known for his significant contributions to the country's governance. He served as the Prime Minister of Mali from April eighth, two thousand seventeen, to December twenty-ninth, two thousand seventeen. His political journey is marked by a series of key appointments, showcasing his versatility and leadership in various capacities.

Before ascending to the role of Prime Minister, Maïga held the position of Minister of Defence starting September third, two thousand sixteen. He took over this critical role following the resignation of Tiéman Hubert Coulibaly, who stepped down amid security challenges posed by jihadist forces in the region. Maïga's tenure as Defence Minister was pivotal, as he navigated the complexities of national security during a turbulent period.

In addition to his role in defence, Maïga has also served as Minister of Territorial Administration and Minister for the Environment, Water and Sanitation. His political acumen was evident during the two thousand thirteen presidential election, where he played a crucial role as the campaign director for Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta, who ultimately won the presidency.

Upon his appointment as Prime Minister by President Keïta on April eighth, two thousand seventeen, Maïga quickly established a new government, which was officially formed on April eleventh, two thousand seventeen. However, in a surprising turn of events, he resigned from his position along with his government on December twenty-ninth, two thousand seventeen, marking a significant moment in his political career.
