Lomé, Togo – For the first time, 41 out of 61 senators were elected by municipal councilors in Togo this Saturday. The remaining 20 senators will be appointed directly by President Faure Gnassingbé. This election, which carries significant political weight, has been met with mixed reactions from the Togolese political class. While some see it as a step forward in the country’s democratic process, others express concerns over the balance of power and the influence of the president’s appointments. The outcome of this election is expected to have lasting implications for Togo’s political landscape.
