Are these elections or "elections"? I don't know anything about Chad.

The Democracy Index has Chad as the 163rd most democratic country. Out of 167.

So, I'm guessing "elections" is probably closer to the true state of affairs.

"elections" - this is an outdated graphic (hasn't been updated since 2015) but scroll down to see the length of terms graph: https://projects.voanews.com/african-presidents/

Chad is near top of the list.
