Saleh Kebzabo (Arabic: صالح كبزابو, born 27 March 1947 in Léré, Chad)[1] is a Chadian politician.

Kebzabo was a director at the Chadian Press Agency, a member of the Democratic Movement for the Restoration of Chad (MDRT), and was a journalist at Jeune Afrique and Demain l'Afrique.

[6] He was a candidate in the June 1996 presidential election, placing third with 8.61% of the vote;[7][8] he then backed President Idriss Déby for the second round.

[17] He was subsequently removed from his position as Minister of State for Agriculture on April 8; the other UNDR members of the government were also dismissed.

[19][20] It was speculated that Kebzabo chose to run for President on this occasion because he had been unsuccessful in negotiating with Déby for the post of Prime Minister.

Opposition deputies led by Saleh Kebzabo responded that they would not resign, feeling that it would be more "useful" for them to remain in the National Assembly; however, they also said that the next election should be held promptly, dismissing Déby's view that the delay was necessary due to a lack of funds, and that in the future the government should make every effort to hold elections on time.

[28] In August 2021, Saleh Kebzabo, the main opponent of the regime of former Chadian President Idriss Déby Itno, killed in April 2021 by rebels, was appointed vice-president of the organizing committee of the "inclusive national dialogue" to lead to presidential and legislative elections in Chad.
