A new political party, Rassemblement du peuple pour le progrès (RPP), has officially launched its activities in Chad on October 31, 2026. The party's president, Soumaine Hoteina, presented its main orientations, which are rooted in liberal ideology. The RPP aims to contribute to democratic debate and propose solutions to the country's challenges. The party was registered on July 9, 2024, and authorized to operate on March 19, 2026.
The RPP is committed to promoting justice, good governance, inclusion, and social peace. According to its president, the party will defend the interests of the population, promote national unity, and contribute to the emergence of transparent and equitable governance. The RPP has also announced its membership in the Cadre permanent de dialogue politique (CPDP) and the Coalition de l'opposition politique pour le redressement et l'alternance au Tchad (COPRAT).
One of the RPP's main objectives is to address the difficulties faced by the population, including the high cost of living, lack of energy infrastructure, limited access to water, and problems in the education and health sectors. The party also aims to prioritize the fight against unemployment by encouraging self-employment in agriculture and livestock, as well as collective initiatives.
The RPP plans to increase the involvement of young people and women in public governance. To achieve its ambitions, the party will install its provincial structures in the coming days to strengthen its presence across the country and bring its leaders closer to the population.
The RPP's emergence is a significant development in Chad's political landscape, which has a large number of registered parties. According to recent reports, there are over 336 registered parties in the country. The RPP's liberal ideology and commitment to democratic values are expected to contribute to the country's vibrant political debate.
The RPP's president, Soumaine Hoteina, has emphasized the party's commitment to promoting national unity and defending the interests of the population. The party's program includes initiatives aimed at addressing the country's challenges and promoting sustainable development.
As the RPP begins its activities, it is expected to play a significant role in Chad's political scene. The party's ability to mobilize support and contribute to the country's democratic development will be closely watched in the coming months and years.
