The Chadian parliament has approved a constitutional revision that extends presidential terms from five to seven years, with unlimited renewals, a move criticized by the opposition as unconstitutional.

• The amendment passed with 236 votes in favor, none against, out of 257 members.
• President Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno, who became transitional president in 2021 and was elected president in May 2024 in an election international observers deemed not credible, will be affected by this change in the next election cycle.
• The National Rally of Chadian Democrats-The Awakening (RNDT), an opposition party, walked out of the chamber before the vote, with former prime minister Albert Pahimi Padacke calling the amendment "unconstitutional and authoritarian".
