The President of Ghana, Nana Akufo Addo is meeting Togo’s 14 opposition political parties in Accra as he continues with his efforts at resolving the political crisis in Togo.
Wednesday’s meeting will afford the Ghanaian President the opportunity to receive briefing on ongoing negotiations which he is currently leading.
The opposition in Togo has for months now organized series of protests demanding the exit of their President, Faure Gnassignbe who has been in power since the death of his father in 2005.
All forms of protests were suspended following an agreement last month to make way for negotiations between the Togolese government and the opposition.
The political crisis has been over the presidential term limit in Togo and the need for the current president to exit power.
The government has called for a referendum on the introduction of a two-term limit but there are signals it would further prolong the presidency of Gnassingbe until 2030.
There have been government crackdown on protests leading to some arrests and deaths, with some Togolese feeling to neighbouring Ghana although some have since returned.
