Togo: 26 candidacies rejected for July 2025 municipal elections

These rejections resulted from the detection of several irregularities. These specifically include lists where the number of candidates does not meet the required thresholds, instances of double registration, multiple people assigned the same voter card numbers and nominations that did not meet the Togolese nationality conditions. Other rejections are linked to the lack of payment of the required deposit, or incompatible age or occupation.

With the official validation of the competing lists, the electoral process enters a new phase: that of the campaign. This will open on July 1st and will last for two weeks.

In preparation for the ballot, the CENI conducted a lottery on June 14 for the positioning of the lists on the voting ballots. Some of the electoral material, notably the indelible ink, has already been received.
