N DJAMENA (Reuters) - Chad President Idriss Deby has taken a strong early lead and appeared poised to extend his three-decade rule, partial provisional results of the April 11 presidential election released by the election commission showed.
Deby has won a majority in all but one of the 51 departments announced so far, and secured a plurality in the other, with 61 departments remaining, according to the Independent National Election Commission (CENI).
On Saturday Kilmapone Larme, head of logistics at the CENI, said they had still not received more than 30% of results.
An ally of Western powers in the fight against Islamist militants in West and Central Africa, Deby is one of Africa s longest-serving leaders, but there are signs of growing discontent over his handling of the nation s oil wealth.
