Togo/ Atcholé Aklesso takes the helm as UNIR executive secretary

Atcholé Aklesso’s appointment as Executive Secretary of the Union for the Republic (UNIR) follows a militant journey that began at the party’s founding. Far from an improvised trajectory, his current position reflects recognition of long-standing commitment. As an early activist, he navigated the party’s various structuring stages, leaving a mark characterised by consistency and loyalty to the political formation’s strategic orientations.

This party figure’s trajectory rests on a working method focused on quiet efficiency. Party officials regularly commend his selflessness and determination in implementing the broad guidelines set by top leadership.

This ability to translate a global political vision into sectoral action plans forms one foundation of his influence. Supervising internal reforms and animating grassroots structures demonstrates personal discipline that progressively built his authority across various bodies.

This legitimacy, built over the years, found institutional consecration in his election to head the Executive Secretariat. His peers validated this choice, reaching consensus around his rigour.

Testimonies from fellow militants converge to present this election as the logical continuation of unwavering loyalty to party ideals. By entrusting him with the party apparatus’s daily management, militants chose operational experience an essential criterion for maintaining cohesion in an organisation of this scale.

Now, facing upcoming political challenges and the imperative to modernise the party apparatus, the Executive Secretary’s roadmap focuses on consolidating achievements and continuously mobilising federal structures.

Managing internal dynamics and preparing future electoral deadlines demand perfect mastery of party mechanisms. In this strategic position, Atcholé Aklesso anchors his action in a perspective of perpetuating the political project of UNIR, ensuring the stability needed to deploy the national ambitions of his party.
