Togo's president Gnassingbe likely to win fourth term

Togo's president Gnassingbe likely to win fourth term

Votes are being counted in Togo's presidential election.

After 15 years in power, President Faure Gnassingbe is expected to secure a fourth term - further extending his family's rule, which has lasted more than half a century.

After changing the Constitution last year, another term could see him stay in power until 2030.

 

Al Jazeera's Ahmed Idris reports from Lome, Togo.
