Benin Republic Presidential Camp of Patrice Talon has won the majority in the parliament after the return of the opposition party in the country.
The election on Sunday served as the first election to take place in the country after four years of non-opposition and also the first since President Talon came to power.
The Presidential parties of the Republican Bloc (BR) and Progressive Union for Renewal (UP-R) won 81 seats conclusively out of the 109 seats in the parliament, while the opposition won 37 seats.
The opposition party on Thursday condemned the result of the election, citing major electoral malpractice by the ruling party.
“The Democratic Party rejects these results, which do not reflect the will of the people to make us the leading political force in the country,” the opposition party leader Mr. Houndete declared.
