The prime minister togolese, Komi Selom Klassou and his team of government resigned, announced the presidency of Togo on Friday night.
The president, Faure Gnassingbe accepted the resignation, said the press release published on the official portal of the presidency.
“The head of State congratulated the prime minister and the entire government team for the efforts undertaken in the economic, political and social, and by the encouraging results obtained despite the difficult context, marked by the health crisis that crosses all over the world at present,” the statement said.
Togo was waiting for a political change since the re-election, in February, of Faure Gnassingbe to a fourth presidential term, but this was delayed by the pandemic coronavirus.

Klassou was prime minister from 2015.
