Africanian Elections Benin

Seven parties, three of which claim to be in opposition, are vying for the 109 seats in the National Assembly. 24 seats being reserved for women.

The parties that will receive over 10% of the votes will share the 109 seats, according to the proportional system.

The last legislative elections held in 2019 were marked by deadly violence, record abstention and a total shutdown of the internet, unprecedented situation in the west African nation.

The opposition was not allowed to participate in the elections due to a tightening of the voting rules. Back then, only two parties of the presidential camp were allowed to compete, resulting in a parliament entirely in favour of president Patrice Talon.
