Benin: President Talon hardens tone after re-election Africanews 5 hrs ago
Benin s
President Patrice Talon on Wednesday pledged to prosecute and punish those responsible for the pre-election violence that erupted in the country s central region, a day after he was re-elected with more than 86% of the vote.
Benin woke up on Wednesday after a very calm night, without violence, and without celebration. The re-election of Patrice Talon, who faced two candidates unknown to the general public, did not surprise many people in this West African country.
Talon did not give a speech thanking his voters, but he went to hospital on Wednesday morning to visit members of the police force injured during pre-election protests that broke out last week in several communes in the centre of the country, a stronghold of former president Thomas Boni Yayi.
