Modibo Sidibé (born 7 November 1952) is a Malian politician who was Prime Minister of Mali from September 2007 to April 2011.

[1][2][3] Under President Alpha Oumar Konaré, Sidibé was named Minister for Health, Solidarity and the Elderly in April 1993.

[6] His replacement was Cissé Mariam Kaïdama Sidibé, who was appointed Mali's first female prime minister late on 3 April 2011.

[7] Sidibé was expected to stand as a candidate in the April 2012 presidential election,[8] but in the months that followed he said nothing to confirm the speculation.

He met with President Touré on 6 September 2011 to tell Touré that he was resigning from his rank as Inspector-General of Police; given that it was legally necessary for him to resign that rank at least six months before the election in order to stand as a presidential candidate, the move was viewed as an indication of his plans.
