No opposition on elections in Benin | Policy

This is the last day of the campaign for the general elections in Benin where voters will go to the polls on Sunday.
But the process has been tainted with controversy as no opposition party will be voting.

The electoral commission prevented five opposition parties from voting on Sunday for technical reasons.
Both parties meeting the criteria are loyal to President Patrice Talon, who has been in power since 2016.

The opposition organized demonstrations in the city of Cotonou, which welcomed two former presidents.

It is feared that in the absence of opposition parties in parliament, the country's democracy will be weakened.
