In Chad, interim military ruler Mahamat Déby has been declared the winner of the presidential election. General Déby took power after his father, longtime Chadian leader Idriss Déby, was killed by rebel forces in 2021. Mahamat Déby’s main rival, Prime Minister Succès Masra, is disputing the results and declared himself the winner just hours before the election results were announced. He called on the citizens of Chad to “mobilize calmly.”
