Chad goes to the polls
Chadian interim President Mahamat Deby Itno casts his ballot, in N'djamena, May 6, 2024, in a long delayed presidential election that is set to end three years of military rule

VOTERS in Chad went to the polls today as the nation is set to become the first of Africa's current military-led countries to adopt democratic rule.

The election concludes three years of transition after the death of long-serving ruler Idriss Deby while fighting rebel forces.

But many in the country are sceptical that any real change is about to take place.
