Once the basic democratic principles have been listed, the text reveals the institutions that will accompany the transition, namely the National Committee for Rally and Development (CNRD), its president, a government and a National Transitional Council (CNT) which will act as of Parliament.
The latter will be composed of 81 members, ranging from political parties to the forces of the nation, including trade unions, employers, youth and defense and security forces.
No member will be able to stand for the next election
After specifying the missions and duties of the various bodies, the document imposes a minimum of 30% of women in each group named in this CNT.
But one measure attracts all the attention: all people participating in the transition will be banned from candidacy in the next national and local elections, starting with the leader of the putschists and current head of state, Lieutenant-Colonel Mamady Doumbouya.

A provision is not subject to any revision,
" underlines the text.
As promised by the CNRD, members of the government and heads of institutions in force under the regime of ousted President Alpha Condé are excluded from the transition, the duration of which will be set by the CNT and the nation's living forces.
