\u200bStakeholders in Togo’s national elections taking place on April 25 are ready and have expressed their satisfaction with the process, despite some other new concerns.<\/p>\n

Togo’s elections, originally planned for April 15, was postponed to April 25 at the instance of the Chair of the Authority of ECOWAS Heads of State and Government following an earlier consultative visit to Lome in March.<\/p>\n

\"mahama<\/a><\/p>\n

The postponement was to enable Togo’s Independent National Electoral Commission \u200bwith assistance from La Francophonie to complete a review of the electoral register in response to concerns raised by the political parties.<\/p>\n

\u200bSpeaking on Monday night in Lome after another consultative visit and discussions with the various stakeholders, the Chair of ECOWAS, President John Dramani Mahama said the political parties and other stakeholders are satisfied with the \u200boutcome of the electoral register.<\/p>\n

\"mahama<\/a><\/p>\n

\u200bMr. Mahama identified a communication gap between the Commission and the stakeholders as one of the major reasons for the new issues emerging, noting that the Commission provided some satisfactory responses to a number of the concerns put before them.<\/p>\n

It has accordingly been decided that the Independent National Electoral Commission \u200bshould \u200bengage the political parties, and also hold a major press conference to outline its processes and activities leading to the April 25 elections.<\/p>\n

Monday’s follow-up meetings were with President Faure Essozimna Gnassingb\u00e9\u200b, the leadership and presidential candidates of the minority opposition parties and the Chairman of the Electoral Commission.<\/p>\n

President Mahama\u200b urged Togo to work together, remain peaceful and commit to organise a peaceful, fair, free and transparent election.<\/p>\n

\"mahama<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He \u200breminded the various candidates that there can be only \u200bone winner and \u200bcautioned the political parties and other bodies to desist from announcing results, emphasising that the declaration of the result is the sole constitutional responsibility of the Electoral Commission.<\/p>\n

ECOWAS \u200bis a deploying a 100-member election monitoring group to be led by the former President of Liberia, Dr. Amos Sawyerr\u200b.<\/p>\n

President Mahama has meanwhile arrived in Abuja, Nigeria for discussions with President Goodluck Jonathan and President-elect Muhammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n
