The Victory Alliance, the opposition coalition that wanted to nominate a single candidate, officially invested Théophile Bongoro on Monday.
At the same time, in another room in the Chadian capital, opposition political parties and civil society associations met for a citizen reflection of the living forces of the nation with the objective of a new regime and a new Republic. .
We saw at this meeting human rights defenders like Dobian Assingar, Mahamat Nour Ibedou, trade unionists like Barka Michel, Younous Mahadjir and politicians like Gali Ngote and Masra Succès.
Later in the afternoon, the Socialist Party Without Borders, which nominated former minister and rebel leader Yaya Dillo Djerou as a candidate, received support from 13 political parties.
This close relative of the Head of State is the second co-owner of the President of the Republic to declare himself a candidate for the presidential election next April.
A first if the Supreme Court validates these candidacies which, moreover, contribute to disperse the anti-Idriss Déby opposition.
