LOME, Oct 17 (Reuters) - Togo's ruling Rally of the Togolese People (RPT) party won a majority of at least 49 of 81 parliamentary seats in the West African country's legislative elections, electoral authorities said on Wednesday.

According to official provisional results from Sunday's polls, the opposition Union of Forces for Change (UFC) party won at least 21 seats, while another opposition party, the Action Committee for Renewal (CAR), obtained four seats.

Voting results for the seven remaining seats were still being tallied and would be released on Thursday, the independent national electoral commission said.
