APA-Ndjamena (Chad) On May 6, 2024, more than eight million Chadians will go to the polls to elect a president after a three-year transition led by Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno.
With just one week to go to the polls on 6 May, candidates are scouring the country in search of votes from Chadians. Against this backdrop, the ‘Agence Nationale de Gestion des Elections’ (National Election Supervising Body, ANGE) headed by Ahmed Bartchiret, is reminding candidates, political parties and groupings contesting the
presidential election on 6 May that the use of an emblem combining the three national colours is prohibited, as is the use of state property for propaganda purposes.
In addition, the body responsible for organising the elections has warned against photographing election reports, which could disrupt public order and result in legal sanctions.
In a bid to preserve peace, ANGE points out that it alone is empowered to announce provisional results, and no candidate is authorised to disseminate them.
Candidates are urged to respect the code of good conduct and to avoid any disruptive behaviour during the election.
On 6 May, more than 8 million Chadians go to the polls to elect their president, with Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno and his prime minister, Succes Masra, as the main candidates. This election marks the end of more than three years of transition led by Mahamat Déby since the death of his father, Field Marshal Idriss Deby Itno, in the north of the country.
