Chad Prepares for Initial Election Post-Civilian Rule

Chad’s presidential elections, originally scheduled for earlier, are now set for May.

This marks the end of a period of change since the long-serving President Idriss Déby’s passing in 2021.

Despite constitutional concerns, his son Gen Mahamat Déby is expected to run, raising worries about the continuation of the Déby family’s rule.
The fairness of the electoral process is questioned, with fears of a prolonged Déby dynasty.
