Faure Essozimna Gnassingb� is a Togolese politician who has been the President of Togo since May 4, 2005. A son of President Gnassingb� Eyad�ma, he was appointed to the government by his father, serving as Minister of Equipment, Mines, Posts, and Telecommunications from 2003 to 2005. When Eyad�ma died on February 5, 2005, Gnassingb� was immediately installed as President with support from the army. Doubts regarding the constitutional legitimacy of the succession led to heavy regional pressure being placed on Gnassingb�, and he resigned on February 25. He then won a controversial presidential election on April 24, 2005, and was sworn in as President again. Gnassingb� was re-elected for a second term as President of Togo in 2010.
