Niger’s military ruler Abdourahamane Tiani has been sworn in as transitional president under a new charter that replaces the constitution.
Niger’s junta leader Abdourahamane Tiani has been sworn in as the country’s president for a transitional period of five years, under a new charter that replaces the nation’s constitution.
Tiani has ruled Niger since 2023, after overthrowing the elected president, Mohamed Bazoum. He has also been promoted to the country’s highest military rank of army general and has signed a decree dissolving all political parties.
During a ceremony in the capital, Niamey, Tiani said he received the distinction with great humility and pledged to honor the trust placed in him.
By the end of the transition period in 2030, Tiani would have been in power for about seven years—mirroring prolonged military-led rule seen in other West African nations such as Mali, Guinea, and Burkina Faso.
