| The Constitutional Council in Chad has approved ten candidates for the upcoming presidential election, including the country's interim President General Mahamat Idriss Deby. | |
| The poll is scheduled for 6 May as part of a transition to democracy. | |
| Mr Deby initially promised an 18-month transition, after he seized power in 2021, following the death of his father. | |
| But he later postponed the elections until this year, triggering protests that were violently suppressed by the security forces. | |
| The candidate list also includes Succès Masra, the opposition leader who was appointed prime minister of the transitional government in January. | |
| Ten other candidates have been barred from contesting due to "irregularities" in their applications. | |
| They include Nassour Ibrahim Neguy Koursami and Rakhis Ahmat Saleh, both outspoken critics of the government. | |
| Chad's military government is one of several juntas currently ruling in West and Central Africa. | |
