| Presidential election in Togo on 4 March 2010 Communiqué The ACP Committee of Ambassadors has been closely and confidently monitoring the preparations for the presidential election to be held in Togo on 4 March 2010, fully recognizing its importance not only for Togo, but for the entire ACP Group, many of whose Member States will be holding elections during the current year. The Committee of Ambassadors expresses the wish that the election on 4 March takes place in an atmosphere of calm and is transparent and credible. To this end, it urges all the Togolese stakeholders, in particular the candidates, to keep the supreme interest of the Togolese nation over and above all others, and to ensure that the election confirms the anchoring of the democratic process in Togo and serves as a model within the ACP arena. The Committee of Ambassadors encourages the Government and people of Togo to continue their efforts and to strengthen the movement towards democratization with the participation of all the key socio-political forces in Togo. The Committee of Ambassadors takes this opportunity to re-affirm the ACP Group’s commitment to respect for human rights, democratic principles, the rule of law and good governance, the essential elements that underpin the ACP-EU partnership and from which the Framework for Intra-ACP Dialogue draws its inspiration.
