LOME (Reuters) - Togo will hold a referendum in the coming days to limit presidential terms, after parliament failed on Tuesday to agree the reform that the opposition says would still let Faure Gnassingbe remain head of state for years.
Announcing the decision to put the constitutional changes to a popular vote, parliament head Drama Dramani told lawmakers: "You have voted for the revision of the constitution but it's the people who will decide, by referendum, in the next few days."
