 TOGOLESE LAWMAKERS ADOPT NEW CONSTITUTION. 



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.

The vote comes less than a month before the next legislative elections in Togo, but it is not yet known when the change, which was approved with eighty-nine votes in favour against one, will come into force.

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