The Alliance Nationale pour le Changement (ANC) has publicly voiced its strong disapproval regarding recent speculation about a new political dialogue focused on revising Togo’s Constitution. In a statement released on May 28, 2026, the party, led by Jean-Pierre Fabre, characterized these discussions as a mere political diversion and reaffirmed its staunch opposition to any process lacking broad national consensus.

According to the ANC, information suggesting impending talks to amend the constitutional text once more raises significant questions. The party contends that such an initiative would not address the genuine democratic and governance concerns of the Togolese people. Instead, it appears designed to further solidify the existing political framework established by recent institutional reforms.

In its official communiqué, the political group declared its refusal to participate in any process it labels a “sham dialogue.” It called upon democratic forces, civil society organizations, and Togo’s international partners to remain vigilant against any reform that does not emerge from extensive national consensus.

The ANC also continues to hold reservations about the Constitution currently in force. For the party, the institutional changes implemented over recent years still provoke concerns regarding their legitimacy and their capacity to truly fulfill the democratic aspirations of the population.

Through this declaration, the opposition reiterates its firm belief that any major constitutional reform must be preceded by an inclusive dialogue, bringing together all political and social stakeholders across the nation. This, the ANC emphasizes, is an indispensable condition to ensure the credibility and widespread acceptance of any future changes.

This definitive stance comes at a time when institutional matters remain a central point of national political debate. As rumors circulate about another potential constitutional overhaul, the ANC clearly aims to distance itself and prevent any initiative it perceives as contrary to the spirit of a consensual democratic process.
