Ndjamena, Chad (AHN) - Chadian President Idriss Deby was elected to an unprecedented third term in office, following the final tabulation of the votes cast in the May 3rd presidential election, a VOA report said on Monday. "Yesterday I was the candidate of my party. Today I am the candidate of all Chadians!" said Deby after winning the election. But opposition leaders dismissed Deby's victory as a fraud. Lol Mahamat Choua, head of an opposition coalition, said the elections were "fixed" and "do not reflect the reality" of what happened on voting day. "This is another reason why we decided to boycott these elections," he told IRIN. According to VOA, Deby has ruled Chad since he overthrew Hissane Habre in 1990.
