Mahamat Déby, Chad’s transitional president, has been declared winner of the country’s presidential poll.
The victory allows Déby, the incumbent, to hold onto the presidency, and eliminates the chance of a runoff which would have happened had no candidate received more than 50 percent of the votes.Before the election results were announced, Masra announced himself winner in a Facebook broadcast. “A small number of individuals believe they can make people believe that the election was won by the same system that has been ruling Chad for decades,” he said.“To all Chadians who voted for change, who voted for me, I say: mobilise. Do it calmly, with a spirit of peace.”
