Title: The challenges of the constitutional referendum in Chad: criticisms are rife
Introduction :
The constitutional referendum scheduled for December 17 in Chad has sparked strong criticism from many political actors. While the government firmly supports this process, irregularities are raised by the National Rally of Chadian Democrats (RNDT-Le Réveil) and other political groups. In this article, we will examine the opposing views and issues surrounding this controversial referendum.
1. Critics of the opposition
The RNDT-Le Réveil, led by former transitional Prime Minister Pahimi Padacké Albert, denounces flagrant irregularities in the organization of the referendum. According to this political party, the current process serves neither the interests of the Chadian people nor those of the transition. They demand the suspension of the referendum and the establishment of an independent body responsible for organizing the referendum vote.
2. The position of the ruling party
The MPS party, which supports the transition, rejects criticism from the opposition and says nothing can hinder the referendum process. According to the party’s secretary-general, Haroun Kabadi, the December 17 referendum is crucial for the future of Chad. He calls for the mobilization of everyone to bring this process to fruition.
3. Political alliances against the referendum
In addition to RNDT-Leéveil, other political groups such as GCAP and the Republican platform also oppose the constitutional referendum. They plan to mobilize to try to stop this process deemed illegitimate.
4. The next stages of the transition
As the referendum divides Chad’s political scene, it is important to examine the next stages of the transition. The return of Succès Masra, head of the CMT, and the challenges facing the country are key elements to take into account.
Conclusion :
The constitutional referendum in Chad continues to attract strong criticism from the political opposition. While RNDT-Le Reveille and other political groups strongly oppose this process, the ruling party maintains its support. In the coming months, it will be crucial to monitor political developments in Chad to understand the implications of this referendum on the country’s political future.
