Faure Gnassingbe seeking re-election in Togo after he and his father ruling for over 50 years.

Voters in Togo have cast ballots in a presidential election expected to extend incumbent Faure 15 years in office, and his family’s rule of more than half a century.

Polling stations opened at 07:00 GMT on Saturday and closed at 16:00 GMT, with provisional results expected in six days.

Some political analysts expect Gnassingbe to win the election outright in the first round. The 53-year-old leader took office in 2005 after the death of his father, Eyadema Gnassingbe, who led the country for 38 years after seizing power in a coup in 1967.
