History

The party emerged from a split of the Independent Socialist Party of Chad in 1955. The new version of PSIT was constituted at a General Assembly held on 27 March 1955. The Assembly adopted statues for the party and a politburo was constituted, with Ahmed Kotoko as general secretary, Chérif Hamid Mahamat as chairman and Mahamat Yakouma and Ali Kamara as vice chairmen.[1]

The new PSIT joined the Entente coalition for the 1957 Territorial Assembly elections.[2] The Entente won 57 of the 65 seats, with PSIT taking a single seat.
