From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Koffi Gbékandé Eric Kpadé (born September 23, 1958[1]) is a Togolese politician of the ruling Rally of the Togolese People (RPT) who served in the National Assembly of Togo from 1999 to 2007.

Kpadé was born in Lomé. He was a customs inspector from 1992 to 1993 before serving as Prefect of Lacs Prefecture from 1993 to 1996 and as Prefect of Tchaoudjo Prefecture from 1996 to 1997. He was elected to the National Assembly in the March 1999 parliamentary election, and he was re-elected in the October 2002 parliamentary election[1] from the Third Constituency of Lacs Prefecture.[2] From May 1999 to October 2002, he was Vice-President of the Commission of Finance and Trade in the National Assembly, and in December 2002 he was elected as the Second Vice-President of the National Assembly. He also became a member of the National Commission for Combating Corruption and Economic Sabotage in March 2001.[1]

Kpadé was the first candidate on the RPT's candidate list for Lacs Prefecture in the October 2007 parliamentary election,[3] but did not win a seat, as all three of the available seats in Lacs went to the opposition Union of the Forces of Change (UFC).[4]
