Chadians are participating in a pivotal moment as they head to the polls today to democratically elect their new President of the Republic.

This significant presidential election marks the conclusion of a military transition period that commenced in April 2021 following the passing of former President Idriss Déby Itno.

General Mahamat Idriss Déby, the son of the late President and a key figure in the military transition, stands as a prominent candidate in this historic election, symbolizing both continuity and change in Chad’s political landscape.
