Success Masra, Chadian Prime Minister, on Wednesday, announced his resignation, New Telegraph reports.
Masra’s resignation is coming barely two weeks after he lost the presidential elections to the junta chief, Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno.
The development was announced in a post shared on his official Facebook page on May 22.
“I’ve just submitted my resignation and that of the transitional government, which became irrelevant with the end of the presidential election,” Masra said.
Recall that the 40-year-old Deby was proclaimed transitional president in April 2021 by a junta of 15 generals after his father, iron-fisted president Idriss Deby Itno, had been shot dead by rebels after 30 years in power.
According to the final results, he won the May 6 presidential vote with 61 per cent of the ballot.
Masra, who was once a fierce Deby opponent before becoming prime minister four months ago, won 18.5 per cent of the vote but contested the results.
