Polling stations open in Chad for a presidential election that will bring transition to a close

N'Djamena (Chad), 6 May (EFE/RPA) - Polling stations in Chad opened normally at 06.00 local time (05.00 GMT) on Monday for a day when more than eight million Chadians are called to the polls to elect their new president and end a three-year transition.

"I think it's still very early, and that's why the voters haven't come out yet. What is certain is that at around 9 or 10 (in the morning) Chadians will come out to vote," Gerome Noubata, a reporter at a polling station in the Moursal neighbourhood of the capital, N'Djamena, told EFE, given the initial low turnout.
