Togo began its democratic process more than three decades ago. However, the practice of democracy has been marred, most of the time, by political crises. The facts and habits are opposed to the discourse of a society anchored in democratic principles and values. This article aims to show that, despite the establishment of democratic institutions and the regular holding of elections (legislative, presidential and communal), Togo is faced with a precarious political balance.

However, Togo is experiencing a democratic deficit even though it regularly organizes elections.
