Parliamentary elections were held in Togo on October 14, 2007 for the 81 seats in the National Assembly.[1][2][3] There were over 2,000 candidates, with 32 parties and 41 lists of independent candidates competing.[4] The ruling Rally of the Togolese People (RPT) was victorious, winning a majority of 50 seats. The remaining seats were won by opposition parties; the Union of the Forces of Change (UFC) won 27 seats and the Action Committee for Renewal (CAR) won four seats.[5] They were the first parliamentary elections since the beginning of multiparty politics in the early 1990s in which all major parties participated.[6]
