Quick Summary
The Rally of the Togolese People (RPT) was the sole political party in Togo from 1969 until 1991. Founded under the leadership of Étienne Gnassingbé Eyadéma, the RPT was instrumental in establishing a one-party civilian rule in Togo. The party was dissolved in 2012, with much of its membership forming the Union for the Republic (UNIR), which continued as the ruling party. Other significant political parties in Togo include the Union of Forces of Change (UFC) and the National Alliance for Change (ANC).12
