A political actor, member of the Progressive Union Renewal party, from the 6th electoral district, ChakirouAmoussou, spoke out on the continuation of the procedure for revising the constitution despite the position of the head of state. Indeed, the question of rereading the electoral code and revising the Beninese constitution has sparked heated controversy in recent weeks. In order to appease his fellow citizens, the Head of State Patrice Talon spoke to the local press last Thursday, February 8. In his speech, he affirmed that he does not want a comma in the constitution to be touched. But despite this announcement, the parliamentarians intend to complete the procedure. According to ChakirouAmoussou, this will of the deputies is proof that Benin is a state of law. According to him, this is the result of the separation of powers. “It is not because the Head of State has said that he does not want a comma of the constitution to be affected that systematically, the deputies will put an end to their prerogatives. We are in a regime of separation of power, so it is not up to the President of the Republic to interfere in the affairs of parliament,” he said. For ChakirouAmoussou, the Beninese must trust the word of Patrice Talon who does not want to offer himself guarantees of eternal power. The political actor of UP Renewal launches an appeal for peace to all Beninese people.
