On Monday, April 26, Albert Pahimi Padacké was named head of the transitional government by Chad's new statesman, Mahamat Idriss Déby. Aged 55, he will head a transitional government, whose members will be dismissed by Mahamat Idriss Déby according to the transitional charter.

It should be noted that Albert Pahimi Padacké is a character who is not unknown to all in the field of politics. From 2016 to 2018, he served as Prime Minister during the regime of Idriss Déby. Apart from that, Albert Pahimi Padacké also participated in the last presidential election of April 11, in which he presented himself as an "independent" and opposition candidate. When the results came in, Albert Pahimi Padacké came in second place, just after the late Idriss Déby, with 10.32% of the vote.

Following this appointment, many political figures reacted and wished him much success, including AFP Saleh Kebzabo, the main opponent of Idriss Déby, who said: "We are in a particular political situation, we will accompany Mr. Pahimi Padacké. We wish him much success for Chad. It is necessary that all Chadians come together in this difficult period. "

Others disapprove of the new military transitional government and demand its dissolution. For the president of the opposition movement "Les Transformateurs," Succès Masra, it would have been necessary to first appoint a civilian president and then a civilian prime minister. Therefore, he called on Monday, Chadians to come forward.

However, this Monday evening, the Minister of Public Security announced a nationwide ban on all forms of demonstrations planned for Tuesday, which may cause public order disturbances.
