Togolese lawmakers have adopted a new constitution, moving the country from a presidential to a parliamentary system and giving parliament the power to elect the president of the small West African country.

The president will be chosen without debate by lawmakers for a single 6 years term and not by the public, according to the new text.

Currently, the president can serve a maximum of two five-year terms.
