Deby's father, Idriss Deby Itno, was similarly declared marshal in 2020 following a successful offensive against jihadist group Boko Haram in the Lake Chad region. He led the central African nation for 30 years before being killed by rebels in 2021.
Chad's leader General Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno was in an official ceremony Saturday promoted to marshal, the same title held by his late father and former president.
The National Transition Council, dominated by the ruling Patriotic Salvation Movement (MPS), had already overwhelmingly voted in favour of
elevating Deby to marshal and held a ceremony at the presidential palace to mark the occasion.
Deby was "elevated to the designation of marchal for his services rendered to the nation and numerous military victories won inside and outside the country", according to a resolution adopted three weeks ahead of next weekend's legislative and
local elections.
The country will hold its first parliamentary elections since 2011 on December 29.
