Togo ruling party wins sweeping majority in legislative poll, final provisional results show

Gnassingbe's Union for the Republic party secured 108 out of 113 seats in the recent election, based on provisional results disclosed by the national electoral commission.
Recently approved constitutional changes allow Gnassingbé to assume a new role as "president of the council of ministers," similar to the prime minister's position, automatically taken by the majority party leader in parliament.
Opposition parties criticized the constitutional reform as an "institutional coup," accusing it of enabling Gnassingbé to sidestep presidential term limits and prolong his family's rule.
