Bonfoh Abass

El-Hadj Bonfoh Abass (/boʊnˈfoʊ ɑːbˈæs/ ⓘ; 23 November 1948[1] – 29/30 June 2021[citation needed]) was a Togolese politician who was the interim President of Togo from 25 February 2005 to 4 May 2005.

On 23 April 2005, Bonfoh dismissed the interior minister for advocating a delay in the election amidst massive street protests.

In the October 2007 parliamentary election, Bonfoh ran for re-election to the National Assembly as the first candidate on the candidate list of the ruling Rally of the Togolese People (RPT) in Bassar,[1][5] and he was successful in winning a seat.

He particularly noted the importance of improving the availability of potable water, quality education, and medicine, and he anticipated that Gnassingbé would make continued progress on those issues.

Abass also discussed the need to move forward with institutional and constitutional reforms, anticipating that relevant draft laws would soon be submitted to the National Assembly and quickly approved.
