Togo postpones Senate elections to Feb. 15 amid opposition boycott over new constitution.

Togo has postponed its first Senate elections to February 15, initially set for February 1, to give political parties more time to organize. The elections are part of implementing a new constitution criticized by the opposition, who claim it allows President Faure Gnassingbe to stay in power indefinitely. Major opposition parties plan to boycott the election, calling it a "constitutional coup d'état."
