Togo's political scene is in turmoil ahead of the legislative and regional elections scheduled for April 29, 2024. The electoral campaign kicks off this Saturday, April 13, against a backdrop of legislative tension. The promulgation of the new fundamental law by the President of the Republic, His Excellency Faure Essozimna Gnassingbé, is still pending, a situation that is exacerbating tensions with opposition parties.
Despite their rejection of this law, opposition parties are entering the electoral battle hoping to use the ballot box as a means of reprimand. They see this as an opportunity to criticize what they perceive as a 'constitutional coup' orchestrated to ensure the perpetuation of Togo's presidential power.
This strategic maneuver, including the postponement and sudden announcement of the ballot, is interpreted by these parties as a desire to destabilize the opposition during the crucial campaign period.
As a reminder, the campaign opened this Saturday and will end on April 27, 2024, a date on which Togo will commemorate its Independence Day.
