Chad is currently in the midst of a significant political moment as voters across the country participate in a long-delayed presidential election. This election marks the end of three years of military rule under interim president, Mahamat Deby Itno, who took power after his father's tragic death in 2021.
The election features 10 candidates, including a female contender, with Deby Itno expected to be among the front runners. However, the political landscape has been marred by the killing of main opposition figure Yaya Dillo, the cousin of the current president, under unclear circumstances earlier this year.
