The president’s office announced on Tuesday that Albert Pahimi Padacke, the prime minister of Chad, has resigned in order to make room for a new administration.
This happened after the nation of Central Africa opted to delay elections by two years.
A civilian politician named Mr. Padacke was appointed prime minister of a military transitional administration in 2021 after President Mahamat Idriss Deby seized control following the passing of his father.
Initially intended to reign for 18 months, Mr. Deby’s military council was extended by the announcement that democratic elections would not take place until around October 2024.
On Monday, Mr. Deby took the oath of office as president of the new transition period, and it was anticipated that he would name a new premier.
From 2016 to 2018, Mr. Padacke also held the position of prime minister. He was regarded as an associate of the late president Idriss Deby, who presided over Chad for 30 years before passing away in April 2021.
