 | | The opposition, however, has since February 1994 held a narrow majority in the National Assembly, and the Government is headed by Edem Kodjo, leader of a small opposition party, the Democratic Union of Togo (UTD). |
 | | In 1994 Eyadema used a questionable interpretation of the Constitution to install Edem Kodjo, the leader of a minority opposition party, the UTD, as Prime Minister. |
 | | While Kodjo has demonstrated some independence from Eyadema--notably in successfully negotiating the refugee repatriation agreement with the UNHCR and a less successful effort to open the phosphate parastatal to private investment--Eyadema continues to influence important ministerial nominations, and maintains a highly centralized government. |
