In Benin, the 9th Legislature will be inaugurated next February following the successful conduct of the parliamentary elections on January 8.
The opposition is making a comeback through the Democratic Party, an added value to the nation’s democracy according to political experts.
Other civil society actors believe that the democratic debate will have to resume on the floor of the assembly now that there is opposition.
A Beninese political analyst Steeve Kpoton agrees but says several challenges will present themselves before the new deputies, including the fight against terrorism, which affects certain localities in the northern sector.
