The Movement of the People for Alternation (MPA) in Chad has expressed concerns over what it describes as injustices and inequalities in administrative appointments. In a message to the population on September 18, 2026, the party stated that the management of the public administration is increasingly influenced by political considerations. The MPA is calling for a reform of the appointment system. This criticism comes after the appointment of 23 government delegates to provincial positions.

According to the MPA, the distribution of these appointments does not ensure a balanced representation of the different components of the Chadian population. The party takes the view that this selection is not mere coincidence, but rather a political will to marginalize part of the Chadian people based on regional and ethnic criteria. The MPA argues that appointments in the public administration should be based on competence, regional balance, and equality among citizens.

The MPA emphasizes that Chad belongs to all its children, from North to South, East to West, and Center. The party demands the establishment of an independent commission to audit the transparency of appointments and an engagement from the government to promote better representation of the different regions of the country. This, the party believes, will ensure that appointments are made fairly and without discrimination.

The MPA has called on citizens to join its efforts to challenge what it describes as a discriminatory appointment policy. The party stresses that without inclusion, there can be no justice, peace, or unity. This appeal comes at a time when Chad is navigating a transition period. The MPA's concerns highlight ongoing challenges related to representation and fairness in the country's administration.

The recent appointments of 23 delegates general to provincial positions have sparked controversy. The MPA claims that these appointments were made without consideration for the diverse makeup of the Chadian population. This has led to accusations that certain groups are being marginalized in the appointment process. The party is pushing for a more inclusive approach to administrative appointments.

Chad has been experiencing a transition period, during which issues of governance and representation have come to the forefront. The MPA's criticism of administrative appointments reflects broader concerns about fairness and equity in the country's political processes. The party's demands for reform and greater transparency aim to address these issues and promote a more inclusive political environment.

The MPA's call for an independent commission to oversee appointments is part of its broader push for reform. By advocating for a more transparent and balanced appointment process, the party hopes to ensure that all regions and groups in Chad have a voice in the country's administration. This effort is crucial for promoting stability and unity in the country.
