Chad's President Idriss
Deby, who has been in power since 1990, says he will run for a fifth
term in elections due in April. He said he would restore term-limits if he
was re-elected, Reuters news agency reports.
Media
report continues:
Mr
Deby took power in a coup in 1990, and later introduced
elections. His most recent victory was in the 2011 poll.
His
critics accuse him of being a repressive ruler, and say polls are not free and
fair in Chad.
Mr Deby, a key ally of
France, has played a prominent role in the military campaign against militant
Islamists in the region.
