Chad\u2019s Prime Minister and opposition leader Succes Masra has tendered his resignation following the confirmation of interim President Mahamat Idriss Deby as the winner of the May 6 presidential election.<\/p>\n

Masra announced his resignation on Wednesday, highlighting his dissatisfaction with the electoral process.<\/p>\n

The opposition leader, a vocal critic of the junta that seized power in April 2021, was appointed as prime minister of the transitional government in January 2024.<\/p>\n

His appointment came just four months ahead of the election, as part of an effort to appease the opposition and facilitate a smoother transition back to constitutional rule.<\/p>\n

In March, Masra\u2019s candidacy for the presidential election was cleared, giving him a chance to participate in the poll intended to restore constitutional governance in Chad.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the country, a significant oil producer, is the first among several coup-affected nations in West and Central Africa\u2019s Sahel region to make such an attempt.<\/p>\n

Before the official announcement of preliminary results, Masra claimed victory, alleging that electoral fraud was being planned.<\/p>\n

Despite his accusations, the election proceeded, and interim President Deby was declared the winner.<\/p>\n
