Chad will hold presidential election on Monday to stop the three years of military administration and usher in democracy.
It was gathered that General Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno, who seized power in 2021, suspended the constitution, and was installed as the president of the Transitional Military Council, is the favourite among the 10 candidates.
The 40-year-old became the central African nation’s leader when his father, who had repressively ruled Chad since 1990, died from wounds suffered on the front line as he visited troops in the north battling rebels.
It was further gathered that the country of around 19 million people has never experienced a peaceful transfer of power since its independence from its former colonial power France in 1960.
Déby promised that his presidency was only a temporary placeholder until Chad had transitioned to a new democratic government.
But he has crushed opposition demonstrations, voters and observers alike doubt that the election will be fair.
