Togo’s President Faure Gnassingbe on Thursday insisted he was not a “dictator”, days before an election in which he is aiming to extend his family’s decades-long domination over the West African nation.

Gnassingbe said he was “calm and confident” of securing a knockout victory in the first round of the polls.
