Description
Togo's electoral commission president, Dago Yabre, announces the provisional results of April's legislative election, with the country's ruling party winning a parliamentary majority.
President Gnassingbe's Union for the Republic party (UNIR) won 108 of 113 seats in the new assembly, Yabre said in a national broadcast.
Under the new constitution approved by lawmakers in April, Gnassingbe will now be able to take a new post as president of the council of ministers, a role similar to prime minister that is automatically assumed by the leader of the majority party in parliament.
