Life and career

Born on 27 April 1962, Kaboua attended the University of Lorraine in France and worked as an agronomic engineer.[2] He then worked for the Ministry of Justice of Togo and was a director of study for the penitentiary administration.[2]

Kaboua was the founder and inaugural president of the MRC. He was elected to the National Assembly to represent Danyi-Apéyémé. On 6 March 2025, he took office in the Senate.[3][4] In office, his public statements generated some controversy, including his comments on the attempted assassination of Senegalese deputy Guy Marius Sagna.[5][6] As part of his parliamentary service, he donated schoolbooks to his native Danyi Prefecture.[7]
