#Chad – LEGISLATIVE AND LOCAL ELECTIONS PRIMER Legislative and local elections will be held on 29 December. A boycott by the majority of the political opposition is expected to see parties aligned with president Mahamat Deby dominate in both legs of the vote, with the ruling MPS party likely to secure a legislative majority. Minor protests are possible during and after the elections, but destabilising unrest is not expected. There will be an elevated risk of violence by armed groups over the electoral period, but this will remain limited to the country’s border regions and will not significantly disrupt the vote. An expected legislative majority for the MPS will cement the Deby administration’s hold on power and promote policy continuity. Our latest via #TheSignalRoom: https://lnkd.in/dTa-J7Uz
