Togo has postponed the election of mayors to September 10–12, 2025. The polls were originally planned for September 2–4.
The announcement was made on August 28 by Minister of Territorial Administration Awaté Hodabalo. No official reason was given for the one-week delay. A total of 1,527 municipal councillors elected in July are expected to take part. They will choose mayors and deputies for the country’s 117 municipalities.
Authorities say the process follows consultations to ensure a smooth transition. The elections mark a key step in Togo’s decentralization drive launched in 2019.
