Convinced of his impossibility of still eyeing the presidential chair at the Marina, Boni Yayi harbors other no less political ambitions. Very recent facts further confirm his fierce dream of soon conquering another power in the Republic of Benin. Elected last Sunday at the head of the Les Démocrates party at the end of the congress held in Parakou, the former head of state, in a message addressed to his activists and supporters, calls on them for unequal mobilization to face the general elections of 2026 These elections will bring together for the first time in Benin, local and communal, municipal, legislative and presidential elections. “We have once again achieved sacred union and put in place a solid combat team intended to lead our party and the Beninese people to a resounding victory in the confrontations of the general elections of 2026.” rejoiced Boni Yayi the next day of the Parakou foundations. A work team made up of around four dozen officials, both in the national political office and in the country’s departmental coordination and electoral constituencies. And this now, with a single great leader at the head, Boni Yayi.
According to several indiscretions, the former head of state is more motivated than ever to attack the electoral field. Collective ambitions of all members of the Les Démocrates party, but also personal ambition. The provisions in force do not prevent him from presenting his candidacy for the next legislative elections, Boni Yayi does not only want to be elected deputy, alongside many other elected democratic representatives whom he hopes for in 2026, he would be determined to win the next perch of the National Assembly. And to achieve this, the Democrats will necessarily have to hold the greatest number of seats. Boni Yayi does not make it a big concern apparently, ready to rally the entire family of the Beninese opposition to this cause “Better than in the past, we should work to rally all the political forces of the opposition, unite them , strengthen them to lead the fight together…” he said in his message.
Moreover, some do not trivialize the renewed ardor and activism of the former head of state in the Beninese political world. He who, for once again, returned to several regions of northern Benin, a few days before the Parakou congress. It seems that Yayi has taken the measure of his new fight and is further revitalizing the electoral strongholds that remain attached to him. Moreover, his speech remains very bitter against the regime in place, a bit like he suggested in his post-congress message. “The Beninese of all social categories: urban and rural workers, students and market women refuse and reject the policy of exclusion in all areas exercised by the power of rupture. » he said. Continuing in these terms: “Indeed, current governance which divides, opposes and weakens endangers unity, peace and national cohesion. Today the search for balanced and harmonious development of all regions of our country is deliberately put under a bushel. We can in no way make this desire for two-speed development and all-out exclusions our own, practiced without qualms by the power of rupture. »
The new president of the opposition party The Democrats, thus announces an electoral battle which will be “fierce” against the regime of the Rupture, the outcome of which, through the general elections of 2026, will prove or not, a “weight unshakable policy” that he and his supporters continue to boast about.
