There were no provisions defined for succession during the regime of Hissène Habré until 1989.

A revision to the constitution in 2020 created again the position of a Vice President[1] appointed by the President of Chad.[2] However, the position was never filled.

According to the previous Constitution of Chad, the president of the National Assembly is the successor of President of Chad in case of a vacancy.[3] As of 2021, Vice-President of the Transitional Military Council will succeed President in case of a vacancy.[4]
