Chadian Prez appoints ex-opposition figure Masra head of transitional gov't

Ottawa, Jan 1 (UNI) Succes Masra, the leader of Chad’s Les Transformateurs (The Transformers) political party and formerly an opposition leader, has been appointed prime minister of the transitional period by a decree signed by Chadian President Mahamat Idriss Deby on Monday.
In late December, ex-Chadian Prime Minister Saleh Kebzabo submitted his resignation as part of the country's standard procedure following the adoption of a new constitution. The day prior, Chad's supreme court approved the results of a referendum, organised by the ruling military junta, with 85% of Chadians voting in favor of the new constitution.
"Dr. Succes Masra has been appointed prime minister, head of the transition period," the decree read.
