Parliamentary elections were held in Togo on 20 December 2018. They had been initially scheduled for July 2018,^[1] but were postponed until ECOWAS called for polling to take place on 20 December.^[2] The main opposition parties, which formed Aliance C14, boycotted the elections following the refusal of President Faure Gnassingbé to fully cancel proposed constitution reforms that would allow him to run for two more terms beyond his current ending term in 2020.
