Chad’s new constitution has been approved by 86% of voters in a referendum, according to the country’s electoral commission. However, opposition leaders have disputed the figures and claimed that turnout was much lower than reported. The military rulers have touted the new constitution as a step towards civilian rule, while opposition politicians have denounced it and called for a boycott. The results are preliminary, with the final results expected from the Supreme Court on December 28. Some opposition leaders believe the referendum is a way to pave the path for the military leader, General Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno, to eventually assume power.
