| Mr Deby is a close ally of France |
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.
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.
