ruling National Rescue Movement Party in Chad announced its candidacy, the head of the party and the state, Idriss Déby Itno, for the upcoming elections that will be held on April 11th, while the opposition called for demonstrations demanding more social justice and political rotation in the country, but the authorities prevented it, fearing that it would “disturb public order “..
After choosing a candidate by acclamation from among the members of his party, Déby told his party, “If the enthusiasm that has always aroused by my choice as a candidate for the presidential elections is still strong, my feeling today is much deeper.”
He added, “Let me, my brothers and sisters, tell you that after deep meditation, I have decided to respond to this call.”
