The opposition, members of civil society and the Catholic Church had unsuccessfully asked for the Constitution to be adopted by referendum.

Idriss Déby is in his fifth term, which ends on August 21, 2021.
Attempted protests took place around the National Assembly on Monday morning after a call from the opposition and some civil society actors.
Chad, a country of about 14 million people, has been headed by President Idriss Déby Itno since 1990.
Legislatures, postponed since 2015, should be held at the end of the year.
