Political career
Halina was the Chief of Protocol for Chadian President Idriss Déby from 2010 to 2023. In 2023, he was appointed as an Ambassador of Chad to China.
On 23 May 2024, following the inauguration of President Mahamat Idriss Déby, Halina was designated as the Prime Minister of Chad.{{cite web |access-date=24 May 2024 |date=23 May 2024 |publisher=FRANCE24 |title=Tchad : Mamahat Déby prête serment et nomme Allamaye Halina Premier ministre |url=https://www.france24.com/fr/afrique/20240523-tchad-mamahat-d%C3%A9by-pr%C3%AAte-serment-nomme-allamaye-halina-premier-ministre |website=France 24}}.
Upon his appointment as prime minister, several analysts described Halina as a technician without political ambition, who would not compete with President Mahamat Idriss Déby. Halina remained loyal to Idriss Déby for a long time, and Mahamat Idriss Déby describes him as his "big brother."
On June 13, 2024, Halina presented his political program to the National Transitional Council.{{cite web |access-date=22 November 2024 |date=13 June 2024 |publisher=Le N'djampost |title=Tchad : Allah-Maye Halina présente son ambitieux programme politique|url=https://lendjampost.com/tchad-allah-maye-halina-presente-son-ambitieux-programme-politique/?amp=1 |website=lendjampost.cop}}. Among the important issues, he particularly hopes that by 2034, Chad will become independent in terms of energy and organize the African Cup of Nations football tournament. Halina also announces his desire to open dry ports and free zones.{{cite web |access-date=22 November 2024 |date=14 June 2024 |publisher=Radio France International|title= Afrique Tchad: le Premier ministre Allamaye Halina a prononcé son discours de politique générale |url=https://www.rfi.fr/fr/afrique/20240614-tchad-le-premier-ministre-allamaye-halina-a-prononc%C3%A9-son-discours-de-politique-g%C3%A9n%C3%A9rale |website=rfi.fr}}.
