Burkina Faso's military leader will remain in power until 2029.
Ibrahim Traore was due to hand over leadership to a civilian government in July.
But a new charter has extended the transitional period by another five years.
Traore assumed power after staging a coup in 2022.
He has repeatedly warned that holding elections would be difficult, because of the security challenges.
Around half of Burkina Faso's territory remains outside of government control.
Al Jazeera’s Nicholas Haque has the latest in Dakar, Senegal.
