The candidacy of Succès Masra raises eyebrows among his former comrades in struggle who accuse him of having compromised with those in power by accepting amnesty for those responsible for the massacres of October 20, 2022 and then the prime ministership.
Others still criticize him for having plunged
Chad
into a serious social crisis by increasing fuel prices or for not having sufficiently condemned the death of the opponent
Yaya Dillo
, killed in an army assault on the headquarters of his party on February 28.
An agreement with those in power?
Questioned by
Carol Valade
, opponent
Max Kemkoye
, president of the Union of Democrats for Development and Progress (UDP), is convinced that Succès Masra's candidacy for the presidential election is the result of an agreement with those in power: “
It is absolutely a means of political survival and he will invest in the upcoming legislative elections, to have more deputies, so it is a means of political survival, it is a way of maintaining himself, he wants to keep the position of Prime Minister.

“
An electoral farce
”
“
And
,” said Max Kemkoye, “
if he tried to make it possible to be renewed once again until the next legislative elections which would practically take place in 2025, it is support, it is a candidacy for testimony , if ever this is validated, it is to support Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno.
Inclusivity, or inclusion, is not with Succès Masra, inclusion is with the opposition, but today Succès Masra is no longer an opponent, for us it is a false candidacy, it's a testimonial candidacy, it's funny but it's simply an electoral farce
