Partial results from Togo's elections indicate that President Gnassingbe was leading with nearly 614,000 votes - about 52% - of nearly 1.19 million votes cast in 20 of 35 voting districts. Togo's opposition is alleging fraud as partial results from Thursday's presidential election come in.
Jean-Claude Codjo, an opposition member of Togo's electoral agency, walked out of a meeting in protest at what he called a "lack of transparency".
Provisional results show President Faure Gnassingbe leading rival Jean-Pierre Fabre by nearly 100,000 votes.
Counting has been delayed by a breakdown in the system transmitting figures from regions to the capital.
Both Gnassingbe and Fabre have claimed victory.
There have been fears of a repeat of the violence that followed disputed elections five years ago.
