La présidentielle du 29 juillet 2018 est une étape cruciale dans l’histoire de la nation malienne. Ce scrutin doit permettre au pays de voir, enfin, le bout du tunnel ou de rester dans l’impasse. Les bulletins de vote auront donc toute leur importance citoyenne et patriotique pour que nous acceptions de voter pour le plus offrant aux dépens du plus crédible et du plus réaliste.
