“The feeling of duty, the love of the homeland, the sensitivity to misery… “, this is how former presidential candidate Pierre Ekué Gamessou Kpodar described his motivation and the reasons why he ran as an independent candidate in the February 2020 presidential election.
Today, it is certain that this motivation is no longer. It flew out the window of incapacity and inaccuracy.
After withdrawing from the Togolese Diaspora Coalition for Alternation and Democracy (CODITOGO) where he was not unanimous, in order to run for president, this former IMF executive seduced Togolese as best he could; for a few days. Then, suddenly, he recanted a few weeks ago, much to the delight of Agbéyomé Kodjo.
The candidate who planned to undertake far-reaching and never-before-seen reforms to restore confidence in Togo’s institutions to citizens and create a stable and equitable framework for the country’s development has disappeared from the political landscape since Little. Returned to the armpits of a controversial candidate.
Investing millions and millions in this race (according to the words) and getting caught up in bishop Kpodzro’s “fabulous” idea is certainly proof of a lack of strategy. The technocrat, however, assured that he had not come to make figuration or to serve as a showcase for anyone. But Agbéyomé’s manipulations with the prelate had their effects. He has been taken and serves as a go-to….
For weeks, Gamessou Kpodar has been in the shadows. No more talk, no more media output. He was fooled by a competitor who has no mercy. He finds himself trapped between his dream of leading the people to an alternation and his desire to keep this image of a humble man, submissive and devoted to the prelate.

Of course, a great intellectual background is necessary to make a place in the political jungle, but it is also necessary to have the cunning of great men and the eye of a visionary not to fall into the trap of the most vicious.
This is probably what Ekoue Kpodar has lacked, who, instead of backing down to face the 2020 presidential election, prefers to tarnish his image with the murderous gonfreries of unscrupulous politicians. Ironically, a frame of the dynamic Kpodzro told us between discussions that if Kpodar continues his adventure with Agbeyome, he will leave Togo in his underwear…..
