Chad's election agency confirmed dates for a presidential election on Tuesday, committing to hold two rounds over May and June with provisional results due on July 7 under a promised transition back to democracy from junta rule.
The military authorities who seized power in 2021 initially said they would hold elections within 18 months, but later extended the transition period to October 10, 2024.
