Togo\u2019s media regulator later suspended the accreditation process for foreign journalists.<\/p>\n<p>Provisional results showed the ruling Union for the Republic (UNIR) party won 108 out of 113 seats in parliament, and 137 out of 179 positions in the senate.<\/p>\n<p>The new constitution also increases presidential terms from five to six years and introduces a single-term limit.<\/p>\n<p>However, the almost 20 years that Gnassingbe has already served in office would not count toward that tally.<\/p>\n<p>Togo has been ruled by the same family for 57 years, initially by Eyadema Gnassingbe and then by his son, Faure Gnassingbe, who took office after elections that the opposition described as a \u201csham.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The political opposition, religious leaders and civil society say the proposed new constitution makes it likely that Gnassingbe will stay on when his mandate expires in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>They also fear that the creation of a figure similar to a prime minister, to be selected from the ruling party, could become another avenue for Gnassingbe to extend his grip on power even beyond that new term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The development follows the signing of a controversial and widely condemned new constitution by President Faure Gnassingbe The hope of having new leader in Togo has been dashed following the abolition of presidential elections in the West Africa country.
