It thus considers that on the whole, the vote of 25^th April 2015 took place in acceptable, fair and transparent conditions« , declared the mission before calling the Togolese political class to reassurance for the good progress of the process.

The feeling of satisfaction was also expressed by the WAEMU mission and the national observers.
