Togo’s ruling party has won a majority of seats in the West African nation's parliament, the election commission said as it announced provisional results of last week's vote that was rejected by the opposition as part of a move to extend President Faure Gnassingbe’s tenure. The provisional results late Saturday showed the ruling Union for the Republic (UNIR) party won 108 out of 113 seats in the vote that tested support for a proposed new constitution that would scrap presidential elections and give lawmakers the power to choose the president. The new constitutional provision provides for a presidential tenure of four years with a two-term limit.
