From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ibni Oumar Mahamat Saleh is a Muslim Chadian politician. His region of provenance is Wadi Fira, in eastern Chad. During Hissène Habré's presidency (1982–90) Ibni Oumar was Minister of Livestock, Higher Education and Planning (1988-1990), and under his successor Idriss Déby he continued to keep ministerial positions (planning 1991-94). Ibni Oumar founded the Party for Liberty and Development in 1993 (Parti pour les Libertés et le Développement or PLD). Under its banner Ibni Oumar was a candidate in the May 2001 presidential election against Déby, taking fifth place with 2.89% of the vote.[1] He boycotted the parliamentary election of 2002 and the constitutional referendum of 2005, as he claimed there were not sufficient guarantees in both cases of a free and fair consultation.
