| Africa Live: Sierra Leone declares drug abuse a national emergency - BBC News | |

| Four opposition parties and a civil society group in Togo have called for mass | |
| protest next week to | |
| demonstrate against the delayed parliamentary and regional elections. | |
| Political tensions have heightened following parliament's approval of a contested constitutional reform last week due to replace the presidential system with a parliamentary | |
| one. | |
| Opposition parties have rejected the constitutional change, fearing it could let President Faure Gnassingbé stay in power. | |
| President Gnassingbe has been in power since 2005, when he replaced his father who led the West African state for 38 years. | |
| On Wednesday, the presidency announced the postponement of the country’s parliamentary elections, which were due to take place | |
| on 20 April. | |
| The presidency did not say the new date for the polls, | |
| citing the need for more consultations over the reforms. | |
| Opposition | |
| leader and Togo’s first female presidential candidate, Brigitte Kafui Adjamagbo | |
| Johnson, has told the BBC that the election delay is a "power grab" and is disappointed by this | |
| latest move. | |
| "We’re not going to accept this, and we will fight against this constitution. It shouldn't be approved by the president". | |
