A total of thirteen people have served as Prime Minister of Togo – twelve men and one woman.
The incumbent prime minister, Victoire Tomegah Dogbé, was appointed by president Faure Gnassingbé.
In the months following the appointment of Joseph Kokou Koffigoh as prime minister by the National Conference on 27 August 1991,[1] the soldiers of the Togolese Armed Forces (FAT) loyal to President Gnassingbé Eyadéma repeatedly tried to oust Koffigoh: In March 2024, President Faure Gnassingbé has announced a new constitution.
The proposed new constitution turns Togo from a presidential system to a federal parliamentary one, weakening the powers of the president, strengthening the powers of the prime minister, renaming the office the President of the Council of Ministers, and as well as giving the new role a maximum term of six years.
