1998 Togolese presidential election

A presidential election was held in Togo on 21 June 1998. President Gnassingbé Eyadéma, in power since 1967, was re-elected with 52.1% of the total vote according to official results. The opposition disputed this and claimed victory for Gilchrist Olympio of the Union of the Forces of Change (UFC).

Léopold Gnininvi of the Democratic Convention of African Peoples (CPDA) was the first declared candidate in the election, followed by Eyadéma, the candidate of the Rally of the Togolese People (RPT), and Yawovi Agboyibo of the Action Committee for Renewal (CAR).

The Constitutional Court declared the final results on 10 July 1998, and Eyadéma was sworn in on 24 July at a ceremony in the National Assembly that was boycotted by the opposition.
