This is the case of the Consultation Group of Political Parties (GCAP) which brings together around fifteen fierce opponents of Chadian powera platform that calls itself “ surprise » by the decision of the former prime minister Masra success and his party Les Transformateurs, not to participate in the next electoral deadlines.
The coordinator of the GCAP, Max Kemkoye is incomprehensible: “ How is it that the same code presented and discussed in the Council of Ministers while he was Prime Minister, validated by him, can he come back today, call it into question and ask for its modification? This is creating political discord and therefore it is a step back which is understandable but which will not achieve anything in the sense that all Chadians have understood his position. »
“ It won’t change anything »
But what could be the impact of withdrawal Transformers, considered one of the main Chadian parties? Practically none, however, explains sociologist Gondeu Ladiba: “ It will not affect the popularity, legitimacy, of the institutions in place. In reality, whether they participate or not, it won’t change anything. Because, in reality, here, people are not taking gloves when it comes to the question of legitimacy, it is clearly seen and come what may. »
Just a coincidence or not? The special envoy of the ECCAS facilitator, Congolese President Félix Tshisekedi, arrived in Ndjamena on Sunday October 20. The objective of the minister, Didier Mazenga, “ help Chad land a smooth transition “, he said.
