Togo: Constitutional Court Confirms UNIR Staggering Victory in Recent Polls

(Togo First) - The Constitutional Court of Togo announced the final results of the April 29 legislative elections yesterday, May 13. The ruling party, Union for the Republic (UNIR), secured a dominant victory with 108 out of 113 parliamentary seats, nearly 96% of the total.

Opposition parties claimed the remaining five seats. The Alliance for Democrats for Integral Development (ADDI) secured two, while the Alliance for National Change (ANC), the Dynamic for the Majority of the People (DMP), and the Democratic Forces for the Republic (FDR) had one each.

The voter turnout was 61.76%, with 2,565,623 votes cast out of 4,203,711 registered voters, in line with the Independent National Electoral Commission's (CENI) earlier announcements on May 4, 2024

The Constitutional Court has ordered the results' publication in the Official Journal of the Togolese Republic, with the next step being the convening of the new parliamentary session for the incoming legislature.
