Chad's parliamentary elections, the first in a decade, follow a transitional military rule, with the main opposition boycotting due to concerns about electoral credibility.
Junta leader Mahamat Idriss Deby claimed the elections would 'pave the way for the era of decentralisation,' speaking to hopes for a better governance.
Voter turnout was low, particularly in N'Djamena, suggesting widespread disillusionment, as over 10 opposition parties boycotted the elections, calling them a 'charade'.
Historically, Chad has not experienced a fair transfer of power since independence in 1960, raising concerns about the current electoral process’s legitimacy.
