Mahamat Déby declared as winner of Chad presidential poll

The announcement confirmed preliminary results from the country’s National Election Management Agency last week.
The declaration of Déby as the winner came after the council dismissed challenges by two candidates — Succès Masra, prime minister, and Albert Padacké, former prime minister.
Jean-Bernard Padare, constitutional council president, said Masra came second with 18.54 percent, while Padacké won 16.93 percent.
Padare said Déby won the poll with 61 percent of the vote — cementing a victory that extends his family’s decades-long rule.
Masra said with the decision of the constitutional council , they  have used all available legal means.
