André Kieffer

André Jean Kieffer (22 May 1903 – 5 June 1984) was a French businessman and politician in Chad. For a decade, in years between World War II and Chadian independence, Kieffer was a notable and controversial figure in parliamentary politics in the territory. He was a member of the Chad Representative Council (1947–1952), the Chad Territorial Assembly (1952–1957) and the Grand Council of French Equatorial Africa (1947–1957). A staunch advocate for the interests of cotton growers, Kieffer was often viewed as a "one-man party".
