The opposition announced in a statement that it is suspending its participation in the electoral process to request the revision of the decrees appointing the members of the National Independent Electoral Commission (CENI), the body in charge of the elections and its president.
The opposition is standing up because the list of its representatives at the CENI include parties that should not be in the opposition's quota. " We went to look for people who have zero advisor, zero MP, and we put them in the name of the opposition, " said Mahamat Ahmat Alhabo, secretary general of the LDP, an opposition party. Worse, "party representatives in government, who support government action ," were " designated on the list of opposition, " he denounces.
More seriously, " the forceps have been designated by a president of the CENI who is not a neutral personality ," adds the opponent. Dr. Kodi Mahamat Bam, appointed president of the Ceni " is a pure activist of the MPS ", the party of the President of the Republic.
We must calm the game and move forward, responds the party in power, by the voice of Master Jean-Bernard Padaré, member of the political bureau. " As far as I know, there is not a single member of the presidential majority who is in the opposition's quota ," he says.
According to him, the appointment of the president of the CENI was made " strictly respecting the textual prescriptions. That is to say by consensus. We have to put the ball down, the Chadian people are waiting to go to the legislative elections . "
Announced for the month of May, the legislative elections can not be held at the earliest until the end of 2019, because of the delay in setting up the CENI.
