Description
Togo's ruling Union for the Republic (UNIR) party launches its campaign for legislative and regional elections scheduled for April 29 with a motorbike and car procession by activists. The launch of the campaign comes amid a backdrop of high political tension following the adoption of a new constitution, switching from a presidential to a parliamentary system. The move has been criticised as a power grab by opposition figures. Badjamla Koubalo, a UNIR legislative candidate, says his party's objective is "to try to demonstrate that there is peace and security in Togo, that we are all united towards the constitutional revision, and that we will vote in peace."
