A coalition of opposition parties and civil society organizations in Togo has called for a political transition and a return to the 1992 Constitution. Meeting in Lomé, the group—which includes parties such as ADDI, ANC, and Les Démocrates—argues that the 2024 constitutional reform lacks consensus and is incompatible with a democratic order.

The coalition is citing a ruling by the ECOWAS Court of Justice to claim that the current Fifth Republic and its institutions are “illegal and illegitimate.” While the signatories are seeking assistance from international partners like the African Union, the United Nations, and the United States to restore a “normal constitutional order,” legal analysts have noted that the court's ruling did not explicitly mandate a transition or annul the 2024 Constitution.
