CHAD’s ruling party won two-thirds of the seats in the legislative election, provisional results showed on Sunday, reinforcing President Mahamat Idriss Deby’s hold on power.
Results of the December 29 election seal the oil-producing Central African nation’s transition to constitutional rule.
Deby’s party, the Patriotic Salvation Movement, secured 124 of the 188 seats at the National Assembly, the national electoral body said.
The vote, which also included municipal and regional elections, was Chad’s first in more than a decade.
