The Head of State of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, President
of the Economic Commission of West African States (ECOWAS) visited a few hours
Tuesday in Lome through an assessment mission the electoral process.
According to the communiqué issued at the end of this
movement, 'the current chairman of ECOWAS took note of the progress of the
electoral process and expressed the fervent hope that efforts could be
prosecuted for the holding of presidential elections in a peaceful climate and
transparent, to allow the people of Togo to continue its economic and social
development in a spirit of cohesion and national harmony. '
Mr. Dramani Mahama noted the measures taken by the
government to secure the whole process. He also noted the concerns raised by
some candidates and which relate in particular to the electoral lists and
ballots. He asked the political class to provide every assistance in a
republican spirit, for the success of the next presidential election.
After his various interviews with all stakeholders and in
order to defuse the atmosphere on the eve of the election campaign the boss of
the ECOWAS has proposed postponing ten days of the originally scheduled
presidential election April 15, 2015. A decision that is ultimately the
Togolese authorities.
The Head of State met with Ghanaian 5 candidates for
president and members of the Independent National Electoral Commission.
