LOME, Togo (AP) - Hundreds of angry demonstrators gathered in the capital Friday demanding their voters' cards for elections, and police fired tear gas on the crowd to keep them out of the town hall.
It was the second protest since an eight-day registration drive ended Tuesday with thousands of the cards uncollected by people whose names appeared on the electoral roll. The election, scheduled for April 24, would allow voters to choose Togo's first new ruler in 38 years.
"We want our voter's cards now!" the opposition supporters yelled outside the capital's town hall. "No voter's card, no elections."
