Parliamentary elections were held in Togo on 20 December 2018. They had been initially scheduled for July 2018,[1] but were postponed until ECOWAS called for polling to take place on 20 December.[2] The main opposition parties, which formed Aliance C14, boycotted the elections following the refusal of President Faure Gnassingbé to fully cancel proposed constitution reforms that would allow him to run for two more terms beyond his current ending term in 2020.
Electoral system
The 91 members of the National Assembly are elected by closed list proportional representation from 30 multi-member constituencies ranging in size from two to ten seats. Seats are allocated using the highest averages method.[3]
Campaign
A total of 850 candidates ran for the 91 available seats, consisting of 105 lists submitted by political parties and 25 lists of independent candidates.[4]
