Chad’s opposition – Transformateurs party’s  – leader Dr Succès Masra, described the upcoming April 11 election as a masquerade and accused   the  present regime of indulging in arm twisting strategies. While addressing a press conference, the opposition leader was highly critical of the present government and asked for postponement or cancellation of the elections.
