Formation Under the Transitional Military Council (CMT), military authorities seized power in Chad following the death of President
Idriss Déby in April 2021 and were led by Déby's son,
Mahamat Déby. Initially, the council promised a period of 18-months before holding elections in October 2022. However, a new plan approved on 1 October 2022 following dialogue in August and September, extended the transition another two years until elections in October 2024. The CMT was then dissolved on 10 October and replaced by the CNT headed by members appointed by Déby, the then-Transitional President of Chad. The new constitution was put forward to Chadian voters as a referendum on 17 December 2023 and passed with 85.9% of the vote. On 1 January 2024, former opposition leader
Succès Masra was appointed as Prime Minister of Chad. Masra was previously in exile, but returned following reconciliation with the government in November. Mahamat Ahmad Alhab, the Secretary-General of the Presidency, said Masra premiership would continue until the
2024 parliamentary elections. == References ==
