Mali's ex-transitional prime minister Cheick Modibo Diarra has submitted his candidacy for the July 28 presidential elections.
A source close to Diarra on Monday filed his nomination papers with the West African country's Constitutional Court.
Diarra is the president of the Rally for Development in Mali (RDM), a party on whose ticket he had been endorsed to contest for the presidential elections set for April 29, 2012.
After the coup on March 22, 2012, he was appointed to the position of Mali's transitional prime minister before resigning due to pressure from the ex-junta.
