Chad prepares for first election post-civilian rule transition

Chad’s authorities have announced that the long-awaited presidential elections will occur in May, marking the culmination of a political transition initiated in 2021 following the passing of former President Idriss Déby after his three-decade rule.

Despite constitutional defiance, Gen Mahamat Déby, the late president’s son, was designated as his successor, pledging to restore civilian governance to the nation.

However, the transition process faced delays, with Mr. Déby anticipated to contest in the upcoming elections.

Concerns arise as analysts note the lack of impartiality within the electoral commission, fueling opposition fears of an extended reign of the Déby dynasty in Chad.
