Last Wednesday in the hemicycle, the parliamentary group Les Démocrates made a statement to be indignant at the process that led to the appointment of the 4 representatives of the National Assembly within the Constitutional Court. Analyzing the key personalities who make up the institutions involved in the elections in Benin, namely the Constitutional Court (responsible for announcing the results and settling electoral disputes), the Autonomous National Electoral Commission (CENA), the body in charge of organizing the elections, and the Agency identification of people for the preparation of the electoral list, Eric Houndété and his peers denounced their exclusion from these institutions, saying they were already worried about the credibility and transparency of the general elections of 2026. “All these political cavalries lead to an institutional framework which, if nothing is done, will inexorably lead our country Benin to general elections in 2026 that are not transparent and lack credibility,” the parliamentary minority warned in its statement. The reaction of the President of the National Assembly Louis Vlavonou was automatic. “We never used trickery here to work. Democracy is first and foremost the expression of the majority of the people through its representatives. The National Assembly passes laws using the majority of the expression of plural democracy,” he thundered. If Vlavonou admits that the minority has its rights to be respected just like the majority, “it is only democracy that is better off within the Beninese parliament by respecting the rights of the majority. “And to continue with the same verve:” No one can take advantage of his own turpitude. Because by wanting to impose its will and that the whole rejects, that does not mean that there is dictatorship and consensus does not mean unanimity.
