Ibrahim Baré Maïnassara Totally Explained

Everything about Ibrahim Bar Ma Nassara totally explained

Ibrahim Baré Maïnassara (May 9, 1949 – April 9, 1999) was a military officer in the West African country of Niger who seized power in a January 1996 coup d'état and ruled the country until his assassination during another coup in April 1999. Parliamentary elections in January 1995 resulted in cohabitation between President Mahamane Ousmane and a parliament controlled by his opponents, led by Prime Minister Hama Amadou. Maïnassara was named Army Chief of Staff in March 1995. Rivalry between Ousmane and Amadou effectively paralyzed the government, and Maïnassara seized power on January 27, 1996,
Under Maïnassara's rule, a new constitution was approved by referendum in May 1996, and a presidential election was held on July 7 – July 8, 1996. Maïnassara took about 52% of the vote, but the election was widely viewed as fraudulent. On the second day of polling he'd the electoral commission dissolved and replaced it with another electoral commission; on the same day, he also had the four opposition candidates placed under house arrest, which lasted for two weeks. Maïnassara was sworn in on August 7.
Local elections were held in February 1999, and in early April the Supreme Court released results which showed the opposition winning more seats than Maïnassara's supporters; the Court also cancelled the results in many areas and ordered elections there to be held again. The opposition called for protests against the cancellation of results on April 8. The circumstances of the killing were not clear; Coup leader Daouda Malam Wanké succeeded him as head of state and initiated a political transition that ended with elections late in the year. The RDP-Jama'a has demanded an international inquiry into his death in the years since.
