The opposition has been eliminated and the institutions responsible for scrutiny are under control. Succès Masra, a former staunch opponent of Déby, leader of the largest opposition party, Les Transformateurs (The Transformers), and appointed prime minister in early January, has has been attracting large crowds throughout the campaign and there are even those who do not exclude the possibility of the electoral election being decided in a second round, which would also be something unprecedented in the last almost four decades of “reign” of the Déby Itno family.
