ECOWAS sends fact-finding mission to Togo amid election postponement

The President of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Commission Omar Touray has deployed a Fact Finding Mission ahead of the regional and legislative elections in Togo scheduled for the 29th of April 2024.

After Togo’s National Assembly changed the constitution from the current presidential system to a parliamentary system on the 25 March 2024, President Faure Gnassingbé postponed the elections.

The elections were postponed from the 20 April to 29 April.

In February, former president of Senegal Macky Sall also postponed Senegalese elections over an identity issue of one of the presidential candidates.
