Togo’s parliamentary election: Why all eyes are on President Gnassingbe

Voters in Togo have gone to the polls in legislative elections on Monday, after a divisive change to the country’s constitution. Opponents say it allows the President to extend his family’s decades-long grip on power.
The Togolese government isn’t allowing journalists to enter the country to report on the election.

Al Jazeera’s Nicolas Haque is reporting from Senegal.
