In Benin, the presidential campaign ended with the final rally of the ruling party candidate, Romuald Wadagni, in Cotonou.
The Finance Minister, considered the favorite in the election scheduled for this Sunday, gathered several thousand supporters in the economic capital to conclude several weeks of campaigning across the country.
The designated successor to outgoing President Patrice Talon, he focused his speech on continuing the economic reforms initiated over the past decade. He called on voters to support continuity, promising to "go even further" in the country's development.
The candidate highlighted Benin's economic performance, which has shown one of the highest growth rates in the region in recent years.
Facing him was only one opponent, Paul Hounkpè, whose campaign remained more low-key. The main opposition party was unable to participate in the election due to a lack of sufficient endorsements.
In this context, the outcome of the election appears to have been largely anticipated by observers. Voters are called to the polls this Sunday.
