The vice president of Mali (French: Vice-président du Mali) was an ad hoc governmental position in Mali. There is no provision for a vice president in the Constitution of Mali and the position has only existed under military regimes. Normally, the constitution instead designates the Prime Minister and the President of the National Assembly step in as interim presidents during temporary and absolute absences, respectively.[citation needed]
