Mali's new president will be sworn into office on Friday, five weeks after the overthrow of Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta.
According to reports, Bah Ndaw, a former defence minister, was picked by the coup leader, Colonel Assimi Goita, to head a transitional government until elections are held.
Col Goita will however be his vice-president.
The new government is expected to be in office for a transition period of 18 months that will lead to an election.
The appointment of a civilian president was a condition for the West African regional group, Ecowas, to lift the sanctions it imposed after the coup.
