Touré was appointed Minister for the Promotion of Women, Children and the Family on 16 February 2012 in the cabinet of prime minister Cissé Mariam Kaïdama Sidibé. She served in the role for only 34 days, being relieved of the position on 22 March as a result of the 2012 Malian coup d'état. Touré opposed the military government and became a democracy activist. As president of the Platform for Women in Opposition Parties she led opposition to the proposed constitutional amendment of July/August 2017. She said this would have increased the powers of the president, established an expensive upper house of parliament and diverted funds from women's causes.
