Faure Gnassingbé has been the President of Togo since 2005, succeeding his father, Gnassingbé Eyadéma, who ruled for nearly 38 years. His administration has recently faced criticism for constitutional reforms that critics argue allow him to maintain power indefinitely. Following the ruling party's victory in the senatorial elections, he is poised to assume a more prominent role in Togo's new parliamentary system.
