POLITICS: the president of the party was confident that his motto was paid.

The CAR (opposition) who had called for a boycott of the vote on Thursday welcomed the high turnout (39.01%). Paul Dodzi Apévon, the president of the party was confident that his motto was paid.

'The voters who abstained to vote sent a clear message: without political reforms, the election results were known in advance; it was therefore unnecessary to take part in it ", he said.

The choice of CAR probably lose votes at four opposition candidates, but a series of social and political factors have played to explain the relative mobilization of voters (turnout was still almost 61%) . The most important is certainly an evolution of behavior face Togolese public affairs. A presidential election in Togo is no longer seen as a crucial historical moment in the history of the country. It is for some a democratic routine.

This question of abstention has become commonplace in public opinion and more we descend into age classes, plus the notion of civic duty evaporates

The CAR is not the cause of a phenomenon that affects all democratic countries.
