N'Djamena (IINA) – Chad's Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) announced Saturday that the country's presidential elections will be held on April 10, according to AFP.
Current head of state Idriss Deby Itno, who is in power since 1990, is expected to be designated as candidate by his Patriotic Salvation Movement party on February 6.
Deby, born in 1952, modified the constitution in 2004, scrapping its two-term limit on presidential tenure, and won the successive elections by a huge majority. Two opposition figures, Kassire Coumakoye and Malloum Yobode, have already declared they will run.
Candidates can file their nomination papers from February 10 to 29. A runoff vote will be held on May 9 if no outright winner emerges from the first round in April.
