Andre Kuevi, a member of Togo's
opposition Union of Forces for Change (UFC), has been
admitted to a local hospital for treatment after being
attacked by unidentified persons late Sunday, a party
official said Monday.
Kuevi is also a member of Togo's National Electoral
Committee.
Jean-Pierre Fabre, UFC Secretary General said Kuevi was
assaulted while trying to check into an hotel in Kara,
some 400-km north of Lome.
He was admitted to the Kara regional hospital after losing
"too much blood," Fabre said.
Kuevi was said to be on tour of the region to set up local
electoral Committees.
