Low voter turnout in Togo after boycott call

Low voter turnout in Togo after boycott call

Voter turnout was low in Togo after calls by opposition and religious leaders for a boycott of parliamentary elections.

The ruling Union for the Republic party is expected to maintain its parliamentary majority.
