The recent parliamentary elections in Chad have reaffirmed the dominance of President Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno and the MPS, winning a notable 124 out of 188 seats, amidst a backdrop of skepticism regarding the legitimacy of the process.
According to Ulf Laessing of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, the low voter turnout and boycott by opposition forces indicate that the recent elections were scripted, highlighting the perceived inevitability of MPS's victory.
In the wake of a violent attack on President Deby's palace, government officials described the assailants as drug addicts and alcoholics, which has raised questions about the veracity of the official narrative among the local population.
The chaotic environment surrounding the elections and the subsequent palace attack underscores the complex challenges facing President Deby as he navigates Chad's political landscape, with many believing the trajectory of governance will remain unchanged.
