39yr-old junta, Mahamat Idriss Deby declares to run presidential race in Chad
“I, Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno, am a candidate for the 2024 presidential election under the banner of the For a United Chad coalition,” he said in a speech.
Deby Itno took power after the death of his father, veteran leader Idriss Deby Itno, in 2021 while fighting rebels.
He was proclaimed transitional president by the country’s ruling junta and promised a return to civilian rule and elections within 18 months but extended the transition by two years.
