Lomé, 5 juin 2025 – À la veille d'une manifestation prévue le 6 juin 2025 à Akassimé (Lomé), plusieurs partis de l'opposition togolaise montent au créneau pour dénoncer une tentative de récupération politique et d’amalgame. Une mobilisation contestée L’appel à manifester, lancé par des activistes des réseaux sociaux et certaines figures de l’opposition, visait à protester contre : Le réajustement des tarifs électriques L’arrestation du chanteur Aamron Cependant, plusieurs partis politiques cités comme signataires du communiqué soutenant la manifestation réfutent toute implication. L’opposition divisée La Convergence des Forces Démocratiques pour un Togo Nouveau (CFDTN), qui regroupe plusieurs formations politiques, semble fracturée. Brigitte Adjamagbo Johnson, députée et secrétaire générale du CDPA, a tenu à clarifier la position de son parti : "Nous dénonçons avec la plus grande fermeté cette manœuvre grossière et malhonnête qui cherche à nous associer à une action dont nous ne sommes ni les initiateurs ni les partenaires."

Élections municipales au Togo : l’opposition peine à se structurer avant le scrutin du 17 juillet

Alors que la date des élections municipales du 17 juillet prochain approche, l’opposition togolaise apparaît divisée et mal coordonnée , après la clôture officielle des dépôts de candidatures. Malgré quelques tentatives de rapprochement en dernière minute, aucune grande coalition nationale n’a vu le jour entre les principaux partis d'opposition : L’Alliance Nationale pour le Changement (ANC) Les Forces Démocratiques pour la République (FDR) La Dynamique du Peuple pour l’Alternance (DMP) Le Comité d’Action pour le Renouveau (CAR) Cette absence de coordination pourrait affaiblir leur position face aux formations politiques mieux organisées sur le terrain. Une tentative d’alliance avortée Une tentative d’alliance entre le FDR et l’ANC avait été évoquée, mais selon Paul Dodji Apévon , président du FDR, elle n’a pas pu aboutir faute de temps. « Nous aurions pu présenter des listes communes avec l’ANC, ce qui nous aurait […]
