The Togolese People's Movement (French: Mouvement Populaire Togolais, MPT) was a political party in Togo between 1954 and 1967.
The party was established on 16 August 1954 following a split in the Togolese Party of Progress over the sacking of John Atayi.[1] The MPT received 1.4% of the vote in the 1955 Territorial Assembly elections, failing to win a seat. Its vote share fell to 0.3% in the 1958 elections, again failing to win a seat.
Following the 1963 coup, the MPT was one of four to form the Reconciliation and National Union, a single electoral list to contest the elections later that year, with each party holding 14 seats. Its leader Nicolas Grunitzky was the sole presidential candidate.[2]
However, following another coup in 1967, the party was dissolved.[3]
