Chadian opponent Saleh Kebzabo, who is fighting for a boycott of the April 11 presidential election, plans to hold a large rally on a vacant lot in front of his home in Ndjamena on Friday. The gathering was banned on behalf of government delegates to the capital. Saleh Kebzabo condemns a violation of his rights, remains and signs.
When he wrote to the mayor of Ndjamena informing him of the organization of this meeting, the opponent thought it would be just a “simple formality”. It must be said that Saleh Kebzabo and the leaders of his UNDR party have been increasing the number of meetings and other public meetings across the country for more than a week, during which They demand a boycott of the April 11 presidential election, without any problems so far.
The chairman of the Election Commission, Kodo Mahamat Bam, also declared a few days ago at RFI that the opponent, like all other candidates, was “free to run his campaign as he wishes”. Hence his “big surprise” two days ago when he saw his letter to the mayor of the Chadian capital come back to him with a comment that his meeting “is not allowed” on the orders of the government delegate to the city on the grounds that he “withdrew back his candidacy “from the presidential election.
However, the Supreme Court of Chad did not take this withdrawal into account and kept it against its will in the presidential race, and his name and his photo are clear on the ballot: it is candidate No. 3. “It is a little cavalier in form and ubiquitous in substance” , said Saheh Kebzabo, believing that this reflects the nervousness of the regime. And he assures us that he will hold his meeting, no matter what.
