 N'DJAMENA, Chad (AP) - Chad residents voted overwhelmingly to allow President Idriss Deby to seek another term in office, according to results from a June 6 referendum revealed Tuesday.
About 78 percent of voters in this central African country said yes to a constitutional change to permit Deby to run for a fourth consecutive term, said election official Djimtebaye Lapia. Deby had served for 15 years and was barred from seeking another five-year term.
Chad's presidential election is set to be held next year.
